Peruvian Daffodil 'Zwanenburg', Spider Lily 'Zwanenburg', Ismene 'Zwanenburg', Ismene x deflexa 'Zwanenburg'
Prized for its large flowers, Hymenocallis x festalis ‘Zwanenburg’ (Peruvian Daffodil) is a tender bulbous perennial boasting showy umbels of up to 5 large, deliciously scented, ivory-white flowers, 5 in. across (12 cm), in mid to late summer. The flowers open up to look like white yellow spiders, but these spiders come with a wonderfully sweet fragrance. Resembling a daffodil, each flower features a scalloped-edged cup and 6 extremely narrow, spreading petals. The blossoms rise atop leafless stalks, well above the basal foliage of strap-shaped, dark green leaves. Adding flare to borders and containers, this Peruvian Daffodil is a must for the evening garden where its citrus-like fragrance can be enjoyed.
