Lycoris x albiflora is a rare amaryllis relative that has showy, spider-like, white flowers sometimes with a cream or pale pink flush. It flowers in late summer or autumn. Lycoris resent disturbance and can take a little time to start blooming again after planting. They are dormant in summer when they appreciate a hot, dry rest, bloom in late summer and fall, and have strap-like foliage in fall, late winter and/or spring. Mulch for winter in colder zones.
