Caribbean Spider Lily, Variegated Spider Lily
Hymenocallis caribaea ‘Variegata’ (Caribbean Spider Lily) is a tender bulbous perennial boasting showy umbels of vanilla-scented, pure white flowers from mid-summer to late fall. The flowers open up to look like giant white spiders, each blossom featuring a central cup and 6 incredibly long, slender petals. The flowers rise atop leafless stalks, well above the striking foliage which is striped in creamy white. A terrific plant near ponds and streams or for the water garden, even when not in bloom.
