Exotic-looking, award-winning Hymenocallis x festalis (Peruvian Daffodil) is a tender bulbous perennial boasting showy umbels, 8 in. across (20 cm), of 2-5 large, deliciously scented, white flowers in mid to late summer. The flowers open up to look like giant white spiders, but these spiders come with a wonderfully sweet fragrance. Resembling a daffodil, each flower features a deep central cup and 6 extremely narrow, curled 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.

• Recipient of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society.
• Grows up to 30 in. tall (75 cm) and 12-18 in. wide (30-45 cm).
• Performs best in full sun to part shade in moist, organically rich, well-drained soil. Peruvian Daffodil does not like temperatures less than 59°F (15°C) so do not plant it out too early in the spring and bring it indoors early in the fall before it gets hit with heavy frosts.
• If you live in a cool area (hardiness zones 3-7) and you want to save your Peruvian Daffodil bulbs for next spring, you may dig them up before the first frost and store them over the winter. Place them in a cool, dry location in a dry medium such as peat or perlite where the temperature remains between 55-60°F (12-15°C).
• Reliable, easy to grow, generally disease and pest free. Deer and rabbit resistant.
