notes
It’s easy to see why Hymenocallis harrisianna is also known as the Spider Lily, with its white trumpet flowers consisting of spidery petal strands and dancing anthers. This clump forming perennial bears the most intense scent, like a citrussy Lily of the Valley, so is ideal for planting in a container, or the front of the border, where the fragrance can be fully enjoyed.
