Rain lilies aren't blooming individually after a storm — every bulb in a colony responds to the same trigger at roughly the same time. That's why an established patch can put up dozens of flowers within a few days of a rain event. It's also why a single isolated bulb is far less impressive than a clump — these are plants that want to be planted en masse. A single bloom typically lasts only 1–3 days before fading. The \"show\" effect comes from many flowers opening over the course of a week, with a few late stragglers trailing for another week or so after that. The bulbs themselves, though, are remarkably long-lived — colonies in old cemeteries and homesites have been documented persisting 80+ years with no care.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0337\/1827\/files\/Habranthus_robustus_pink_rain_lily_display_600_x_450.jpg?v=1778792154\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eCollecting these seeds led to one of my first dates with my wife!

When the customer receives them, the foliage is in the process of drying down naturally. Plant the bulbs, with foliage and all in the ground and let the foliage turn brown and die back naturally.

This occurs just as summer is coming to an end and early fall is beginning.

They bloom in full sun, but the flower blooms hold up best when they can bloom in partial shade away from the occasional 100 degree sun. They grow their foliage after the bloom, during the winter, and they really need at least 6 hours of winter sunlight a day. In other words, that shady spot where they bloom in late summer can be under a deciduous tree (the kind that lose their leaves in the winter) which will in turn allow them to grow quite healthy with full sun in the winter.

These breathtaking beauties actually flourish in the August\/September heat and humidity in the southern United States. They are extremely adaptable to a wide range of soils. They can even thrive in heavy clay, but as with most bulbs, do not try growing oxblood lilies in boggy soils. They like to be drier during the summer months when they are dormant. Because of how well they do in a variety of soil, the lilies look amazing in rock gardens or stretched out along pathways.

This can be confusing with their sometimes long neck, and if the neck is very long, simply have a small portion of the top of the neck above the soil, or plant your bulb sideways. It will eventually turn itself up and the blooms will hardly be affected the first year, and not at all in future years. If you water them 2-3 times a week for a couple of weeks after planting, that will help them adjust to their new home. In the future, the roots will actually pull the bulb down in the soil to help protect it in the cool soil below so when you are ready to divide or share your bulbs be sure to dig down deeper than you think you should. Plant your flowers with 2-3 bulbs per clump for a more natural-looking display. They will multiply quickly from offsets and established large clumps of bulbs are valued for their strength and endurance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Bulb Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: There are so many things that we can talk about with these impressive red flowers it is hard to know where to start. \u003cstrong\u003eAnimals: \u003c\/strong\u003eHummingbirds and bees adore this bloom.

Another option is to not plant the flower bulbs and store the bulbs with the foliage in a cool, dark, and well ventilated spot, and most importantly let the foliage die down naturally. In other words, DON'T cut the foliage of bulbs when you receive them in the green.

When we plant something, we want to see it grow - soon! Planting with perennial bulbs is about planning for the future. That makes this time of year ideal for planning and planting for next year. We know that it is the end of the summer growing season and our gardens are tired. Trim up sad and overgrown perennials and plant additional perennials with the understanding that it is for the future - for next year or possibly even the year after.

How close together you plant them really depends on your plan. If you want them to look natural quickly, then plant them about 4-6 inches apart. If you are willing for them to look sparse and fill in over the years, then plant them up to 12-18 inches apart. They will multiply quickly so plan on thinning them periodically.

It can endure the tough weather that Texas has to offer especially the hot dry summer in full sun. We have an early historical account of this bulb in the State of Texas. In the early to mid-1800's, explorer Jean Louis Berlandier, a Swiss-French botanist, charted the plants of Mexico, an area that included sections of present-day Texas. In his journal he describes a scene where his expedition party that hiked from San Antonio to Rusk, TX found itself surrounded by knee-high white lilies.  Many believe these flowers were the white spidery blooms of \u003cem\u003eHymenocallis liriosme\u003c\/em\u003e. Berlandier wrote of many interesting aspects of life in Texas in the mid 1850's, such as foot long fresh water prawns from the rivers taken to open markets in San Antonio in wooden wheel barrows. Alas, abundant foot long fresh water prawns in Texas rivers can no longer be found.  However, the botanical displays of these white spider lilies have persisted and can still be enjoyed today! Drive county roads in April, and you could find yourself in the middle of these spectacular beauties.

Now is a perfect time to plant spider lilies. Perennial bulbs often need 6-12 months in the ground before they bloom so you are giving the spider lilies that full year in the ground before they will pop up with a bloom on a naked stalk next September\/October. Yellow spider lilies usually take 1-2 years planted before presenting foliage or blooms. Your bulbs are developing a strong root system right now to support future foliage and eventually blooms. You might see the foliage this November - April, but don't be concerned if you don't.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eMost people still expect to see something growing during the summer months. You won't see anything. These lilies are dormant in the summer. The flowers suddenly appear with the first later summer and early fall rains. One day there is nothing growing and then suddenly you have a surprise, a fully blooming flower! That is why they are called \"Surprise lilies\".

We know that we all want to see the beautiful unusual blooms in the fall, but the foliage is very important. The foliage is what allows the bulb to grow and multiply. Many people get very concerned if they don't see the spider lily bloom the first year that they plant it and believe that maybe the bulb isn't any good. The foliage is what you watch for if you don't see your spider lily bloom, or even if you do.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe foliage of the yellow spider acts just like the red spider lily. \u003c\/span\u003eBelow you will see a picture of the foliage of the red spider lily - it looks like grass. We took the picture on November 1st. The foliage has been popping out of the ground a little over the previous couple of weeks, but now you can really see the stand. All of those different tufts of foliage are bulbs, and someday you will see a beautiful stand of red spider lilies here. In this area because of the super dry summer, not one red spider lily bloomed. However, you can see that the bulbs are growing. The foliage is up and ready to take in nutrients over the next several months while helping the bulbs grow, mature, and multiply. I know you will have to take our word for it, but there wasn't even 1\/2 that much foliage there last year which shows you how quickly the bulbs multiply. The foliage will continue to grow. Even if it gets hit by a winter cold snap, it will have taken in nutrients for months! Always allow the foliage to die down naturally and don't cut it off. If you cut it, you are killing the bulb. Once the foliage is completely dead which is usually around the beginning of May, this area can be mowed. Remember, it takes a lot of energy for the bulb to push that bloom up out of the ground and open wide. The more time the bulbs can take in nutrients, the more energy they will have for that fall bloom. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"foliage-at-office-lot-11-1-22-600-x-350.10.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0337\/1827\/files\/foliage-at-office-lot-11-1-22-600-x-350_10.jpg\" alt=\"foliage-at-office-lot-11-1-22-600-x-350.10.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"316\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eBlooms\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e Yellow spider lilies usually need two blooming seasons before they bloom.

However, once established in your garden they are there for a lifetime! Some say that the flowers bloom two weeks after the first good fall rain. If there is no rain during the month of September, the bulbs have been known to not bloom at all because they are saving their energy to protect the bulb through the dormant summer.

They need at least 1\/2 day of WINTER sun. That means about 6-8 hours of sunlight during the winter months. If you look at the photo below, you will see that they are in the shade of the trees. You can be sure that most, if not all, of those trees, will lose their leaves in the winter when the greenery needs sunlight. The spider lily puts on its foliage during the winter (November - May) and that is when it takes in the nutrients it needs to produce those golden flowers the following September. The winter foliage soaks up sun energy during winter as it prepares for summer dormancy.

They compete with the weeds, hogs, and grasshoppers, using nothing but the natural rainfall to survive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"att00041.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0337\/1827\/files\/att00041.jpg\" alt=\"att00041.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eCrinum powellii comes in two different colors, pink and white. It is one of the most cold hardy of all the crinums, but that in no way means that it cannot stand the heat. Some of the toughest, oldest crinums we have are Crinum powelii. I was in South Carolina at a plantation where I saw one blooming in the middle of a VERY hot and humid day. On top of this, you don't need to worry about it dying (unless you spray some kind of chemical on it or live in a cold environment - Zones 7 and colder), because it is one of the toughest bulbs in the garden!

Many of our old world bulbs like the little jonquil sweeties, old fashioned daffodils, Byzantine gladioli, and more came from Mediterranean places such as the south of Spain.  Calla lilies come to us from South Africa, not a hot bed of early American immigration.  From there though, they were eventually brought to Europe and the United States.  Dr. Bill Welch had them in his old home near Monroe, LA for generations and now has them growing in a decorative galvanized feeding trough near Brenham, TX (the home of Blue Bell Ice Cream).

This is why people are so polarized about paperwhite smell — some find it heavenly, others say it's not so great.

This also makes for interesting conversations with our customers to make sure that we are talking about the same flowering bulb. The names don't change the striking beauty of this fall-blooming flower. Here in East Texas, we call it the \"red spider lily\". It is red, and the stamens look like spider legs. Along the coast, it is often referred to as a \"hurricane lily\" because it often blooms after the first fall hurricane. Many people call this a \"naked lady\" because it blooms on a naked stalk. Others simply call it a \"surprise\" lily because it shows up out of nowhere and surprises you one day with a flower. No matter what it is called, its beauty will make you glad that you have it in your garden.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"shutterstock-2208770433-1-.1.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0337\/1827\/files\/shutterstock-2208770433-1-_1.jpg\" alt=\"shutterstock-2208770433-1-.1.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Red Spider Lily's Unique Bloom Cycle: A Timeline\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eUnderstanding the Red Spider Lily's bloom cycle is key to successful cultivation. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eMost people still expect to see something growing during the summer months.

We took the picture on November 1st. The foliage has been popping out of the ground a little over the previous couple of weeks, but now you can really see the stand. All of those different tufts of foliage are bulbs, and someday you will see a beautiful stand of red spider lilies here. In this area because of the super dry summer, not one red spider lily bloomed. However, you can see that the bulbs are growing. The foliage is up and ready to take in nutrients over the next several months while helping the bulbs grow, mature, and multiply. I know you will have to take our word for it, but there wasn't even 1\/2 that much foliage there last year which shows you how quickly the bulbs multiply. The foliage will continue to grow. Even if it gets hit by a winter cold snap, it will have taken in nutrients for months! Always allow the foliage to die down naturally and don't cut it off. If you cut it, you are killing the bulb. Once the foliage is completely dead which is usually around the beginning of May, this area can be mowed. Remember, it takes a lot of energy for the bulb to push that bloom up out of the ground and open wide. The more time the bulbs can take in nutrients, the more energy they will have for that fall bloom.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"foliage-at-office-lot-11-1-22-600-x-350.10.1.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0337\/1827\/files\/foliage-at-office-lot-11-1-22-600-x-350_10_1.jpg\" alt=\"foliage-at-office-lot-11-1-22-600-x-350.10.1.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"316\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"field-of-lycoris-radiada-red-spider-lily-soldiers-600-x-400.1.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0337\/1827\/files\/field-of-lycoris-radiada-red-spider-lily-soldiers-600-x-400_1.jpg\" alt=\"field-of-lycoris-radiada-red-spider-lily-soldiers-600-x-400.1.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSunlight Requirements: Ensuring a Spectacular Bloom\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe single most important thing about landscaping with spider lilies is the sun. They need at least 6+  hours a day of WINTER sun. That means about 6-8 hours of sunlight during the winter months. If you look at the photo above, you will see that they are in the shade of the trees. You can be sure that most, if not all, of those trees, will lose their leaves in the winter when the greenery needs sunlight. The spider lily puts on its foliage during the winter (November - May) and that is when it takes in the nutrients it needs to produce those golden flowers the following September. The winter foliage soaks up sun energy during winter as it prepares for summer dormancy. The foliage normally completely dies down by around May.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"single-lycoris-radiada-red-spider-lily-from-the-side-on-green-600-x-400.1.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0337\/1827\/files\/single-lycoris-radiada-red-spider-lily-from-the-side-on-green-600-x-400_1.jpg\" alt=\"single-lycoris-radiada-red-spider-lily-from-the-side-on-green-600-x-400.1.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting and Care Tips for Red Spider Lilies\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eDon't plant the bulb too deep. You will plant the bulbs 2-3 times deep the height of the bulb (so if your bulb is 2\" tall, then you will plant it 4-5 inches deep). You can plant 2-3 per hole to make the blooms look more natural. Spider lilies really do well in any type of soil. They thrive in soil that has plenty of organic material mixed in, but they do not require fertilizer. Newly planted bulbs would actually be harmed by exposure to fertilizer, so if you are going to apply nutrients, limit the application to established plants when the plants are producing their green leafy foliage during the winter. After planting the bulbs, water the soil thoroughly. Damp soil is ok, as long as the bulbs are in a spot where they will receive plenty of winter sun and the foliage is allowed to die down naturally in the spring. Standing water is not good. Once the summer season starts the spider lily will do best in soil that dries out a bit, as this facilitates its entry into the dormant stage when its leaves die back. This period is followed by its blooming season when it will reward daily watering with long-lasting blooms. Too much moisture in the soil will lead to the bulbs rotting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePlanting Depth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e: Plant bulbs 2-3 times their height deep.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSoil Type\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e: While adaptable, they thrive in soil rich in organic matter.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eWatering\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e: Water thoroughly after planting and during dry periods.

For a plant that has been in cultivation all over the world for millennia, roses have an oddly persistent reputation for  being finicky and disease-prone, difficult to establish, and in need of constant tending. And then you see a sprawling shrub, loaded with yellow blossoms, spilling carelessly over a church dumpster or a climbing mass of red roses clambering over a chain link fence. You wonder why growing a rose bush in your backyard should be so intimidating. Now, veteran gardener and beloved author Judy Barrett tackles the persistent rumors and illusions that inhibit many of us from trying our hand at cultivating roses.

Welch offer a personal, and in-depth, and entertaining account of some of the great stories gathered during their years as participants in one of the most important plant hunting efforts of the twentieth century--the quest to save antique roses that disappeared from the market in a notoriously trend-driven business. By the 1950s, modern roses (those with one perfect bloom at the top of a long stem) were grown almost exclusively for the cut-flower market. The large rounded shrubs and billowy fence climbers known to our grandparents and great-grandparents in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries had been reduced to this rather monotonous single style of plant. Yet those roses of old still grew, tough and persistent, in farmyards, cemeteries, vacant lots, and abandoned fields. The rediscovery of these antiques and the subsequent movement to conserve them became the mission of \"rose rustlers,\" dedicated rosarians who studied, sought, cut, and cultivated these hardy survivors. Here the authors chronicle their own origins, adventures, and discoveries as part of a group dubbed the Texas Rose Rustlers. They present tales of the many efforts that have helped restore lost roses not only to residential gardens but also to commercial and church landscapes in the South. Their experiences and friendships with others in the heirloom rose world bring an insider's perspective to the lore of \"rustling,\" the art of propogation, and the continued fascination with the world's favorite flower.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eInside the back cover\u003c\/span\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Greg Grant is the Smith County horticulturist for the Texas A\u0026amp;M AgriLife Extension Service in Tyler.

The foliage emerges \u003cstrong data-start=\"276\" data-end=\"335\"\u003eafter planting and continues through the growing season\u003c\/strong\u003e, gathering energy for next year’s blooms. It’s hardy and attractive, providing a \u003cstrong data-start=\"417\" data-end=\"437\"\u003everdant backdrop\u003c\/strong\u003e to the bold, spidery flowers. This bulb is drought-tolerant, but it will perform better if you water it during a dry summer. This provides a great \"hedge\" for an area like around a tree. The foliage provides a dark background to showcase small summer flowers like rain lilies or blood lilies or even fall blooms like red or yellow spider lilies or schoolhouse lilies. You can also use it as a foreground plant for tall flowers that may not have great foliage. Or you can even combine these ideas and have multiple layers to your garden that will bloom at different times of the year in the same area. For the foliage alone consider planting it as a centerpiece in your garden. The blooms are an added bonus! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAfter Blooming:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e As with most perennial bulbs, do NOT cut down the foliage as long as it is green. The foliage is sending nutrients to the bulb for future blooms. When the foliage dies back and is completely yellow, you can cut it off for the winter. The foliage will stay green for months and may not die back if there is not a harsh winter or in warmer zones.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCut flowers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e: These blooms are often used in floral displays and are quite costly so plant several and enjoy them in the garden and then take some indoors as well. You spend a lot of money on these blooms if you were to go buy them individually to make a flower arrangement. Instead, why not just walk out to your garden and cut a couple of stems off? These have a lovely scent to them.

You can plant them in full sun even in zones 9 and 10. They look great as a border, around a tree, or as a centerpiece in your garden. Plant the bulbs with just the top of the stem out of the soil. If your bulb has a lot of greenery you will be able to tell where the bulb begins and just barely cover the round bulb portion. Plant these in the ground in zones 8-11. Plant each bulb about 6-8 inches apart to allow a little space for multiplication. You can plant them 4-6 inches apart if you want the area to look more natural quicker. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eDuring the winter, consider mulching over the top especially if you are in zones 7 and 8 just as a little extra protection.

They are easy to grow in pots and look amazing when you plant one bulb per small pot and set them in clusters, lined up, or set in windowsills. Hippeastrum like to be a little \"crowded\" so only plant in a pot that allows no more than 1-2 inches around the bulb. Remember to allow the top of the bulb to stick out of the soil when you are planting. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003ePots would allow someone in a colder zone to grow this spring-blooming beauty that could then be moved into a protected area during the winter.
