How to Sow and Plant

Choose a well-draining garden bed or pot with good drainage.
Plant bulbs about 2–3 inches (5–8 cm) deep, pointed end up.
Space bulbs 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) apart for naturalized clustering.
Water lightly after planting, then maintain moderate moisture until growth emerges.

How to Grow

After planting, bulbs remain dormant until late summer.
Once red flower stems appear — simply enjoy the blooms; no leaves yet.
After flowering, wait for foliage to emerge; water regularly while leaves are present.
In winter, foliage dies back naturally; reduce watering and leave bulbs in ground or pot for next cycle.
Bulbs prefer partial shade to full sun; they are hardy and low-maintenance.

Tips

Plant bulbs in groups (clumps) for maximum visual impact.
Avoid overly soggy soil — good drainage is essential.
Do not disturb the bulbs after planting; they may take a season or two to establish and bloom consistently.

Perennial Bulb

The Heirloom Red Spider Lily (Lycoris radiata) is valued for its unusually shaped, radiant red blooms that emerge on bare stems without leaves — giving a ghostly, striking look. After blooming, glossy strap-like leaves emerge in late fall, lying low during winter, then dying back in spring, leaving bulbs dormant until next bloom cycle. Ideal for gardeners who want dramatic late-season color and low maintenance.
