Spring spiderlily is a stunning bulbous perennial that produces fragrant white spider-like flowers in spring and prefers moist, organically rich soil in partial shade. Plant bulbs with the neck just at or slightly above the soil surface and water consistently through the growing season. Allow foliage to die back naturally after blooming to replenish the bulb for next year.
