At-A-Glance InformationThis genus of flowering perennials grow from bulbs and need partial shade in the warmest climates and regular water during growth and blooming periods. They are native to South Africa and are relatives of the Spider Lily (Lycoris). Leaves are strappy and die back before blooms appear, and will reappear later in the year. Flowers have six spreading, recurved segments and are borne in clusters at stem tips.
