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!

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.

I’ll be honest, I haven’t found many of them growing in abandoned pastures; abandoned pastures seem to be the home for the daffodils and some of their other friends. No, I’ve seen calla lilies growing in the old established gardens of the south that are still taken care of.  Why?

A typical technique is to pot a very rocky soil mixture together in a pot, and sink the pot completely under the water in a fish pond or other decorative pool of water.  However, they don’t have to be completely submerged. A regular irrigation system will take care of them. They like it a little more shady and damp, so just remember that when placing them in the garden. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eHere at the Southern Bulb Company farm, we’re going to put them with our white rain lilies (\u003cem\u003eZephyranthes candida\u003c\/em\u003e) and our native white spider lilies (\u003cem\u003eHymenocallis liriosme\u003c\/em\u003e) in the thick clays at the edge of our pond.

While I would like to offer a great pass-a-long story like so many of our other bulbs have, all I can speak to is the wonderful old places I’ve seen them grow. 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).

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.

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.

They definitely leave the foliage alone during the winter, but can be attracted to the bright flowers. So the answer to this question, is that they are mostly resistant, depending on how hungry the deer are.  Remember, humans ate tulips during times of hunger\/famine, yet tulips definitely aren’t on our menu either.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe understand that online sources sometimes raise concerns about toxicity, so we want to offer some clarification. Much of the alarm you may see online stems from generalized or exaggerated toxicity listings. In reality, cases of actual poisoning are extremely rare, and the plants are not considered a serious risk. While red spider lily bulbs, like many ornamental bulbs, do contain alkaloids that could cause mild irritation if ingested in large quantities, they are \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003enot\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e considered dangerous to humans or animals under normal garden conditions. The key is that even for mild irritation they would need to be fully consumed in large quantities. Even if animals chew on the bulbs a little bit, they aren't interested in them (even deer who have been known to eat plastic flowers leave them alone). In fact, they’ve been grown safely in Southern gardens for generations—including in areas with pets and children. You can feel confident they won’t pose a hazard just by being in your garden.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen should I plant red spider lilies?

Expect the foliage to yellow and die back naturally—this is a normal process where the leaves nourish the bulbs for future blooms. Once the foliage is dead, you can cut it off. The rest of the year we ship dormant bulbs. Plant them, water them, and then just wait. Remember - you won't see anything during the summer as the bulbs are dormant. You may not see blooms the first fall depending on when you planted the bulbs. Many perennial bulbs need 6-12 months in the ground before they bloom.   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eYour Red Spider Lily Journey Starts Today!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eOrder your Red Spider Lily bulbs now and witness the magic of these captivating flowers in your own garden.
