{"title":"Lycoris","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere are two groups of lycoris (surprise lily, red spider lily, hurricane lily), those whose leaves emerge in fall (e.g., \u003cem\u003eLycoris radiata\u003c\/em\u003e), and those whose leaves emerge in spring (e.g., \u003cem\u003eLycoris squamigera\u003c\/em\u003e). The fall foliage lycoris (red spider lily) is winter hardy down to \u003ca title=\"Zone 6b plants\" href=\"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/collections\/zone-6-plants\"\u003eZone 6b\u003c\/a\u003e. However, the spring foliage lycoris (\u003cem\u003eLycoris x squamigera\u003c\/em\u003e) can survive as far north as \u003ca title=\"Zone 3 Plants\" href=\"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/collections\/zone-3-plants\"\u003eZone 3\u003c\/a\u003e. The charming spider lily bulbs produce red, pink, yellow, or white spider lily flowers on naked stems during the late summer or fall (during hurricane season in the US) which is why they are frequently called the hurricane lily. After the flowers are finished, spider lily bulbs grow leaves which hang around until late spring. Unlike most bulbs, surprise lilies have foliage that grows in the winter and goes dormant in the summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eMost gardeners are familiar with the red spider lily (\u003cem\u003eL. radiata\u003c\/em\u003e) and the pink spider lily (\u003cem\u003eL. x squamigera\u003c\/em\u003e) and maybe less so with the white spider lily (\u003cem\u003eL. x houdyshelii\u003c\/em\u003e). And of course we have all three of these selections...but PDN also carries a wide variety of spider lilies in rare and unusual colors that you may not expect such as pale yellow, rich yellow, rusty orange, peach, coral, rose pink and bicolor flowers such as red with blue tips, pink with blue tips, white with pink stripes, pink with red stripes, and pink with pale pink edges, to name just a few. Some of these fantastic lycoris are for sale now and others will be for sale in years to come.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe continue to trial and propagate a huge selection of lycoris (see our \u003ca title=\"View our Lycoris Photo Gallery\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jlbg.org\/content\/gallery\/Lycoris_(Surprise_Lily,_Hurricane_Lily)\/\"\u003ehurricane lily photo gallery\u003c\/a\u003e), which we will gradually make available. Traditionally, only a few species and cultivars of lycoris, such as the red spider lily or hurricane lily, have been available in America...however, several Asian lycoris selections are starting to make their way into specialty nurseries.
