Quart Pots
Nice bulbs from wild collected seed of this cool Japanese relative of the giant Himalayan Lily, Cardiocrinum giganteum. Nice white flowers with a slight greenish cast on stems up to 6' high which is perfect for enjoying the excellent fragrance. These look like a glossy Hosta until they get large enough to flower (we had one bloom from this group last year) at with point it shoots up this tall with flower stalk with the big flowers clustered on top. After all that effort the main bulb dies but it usually produces multiple offsets which will flower in succeeding years. In any event, it makes a lot of seed! it This loves a lightly to semi-shaded spot in a rich moist soil. We've heard folks say it is hardy to some very low zones but that must be with deep snow cover which doesn't count! Sue used to grow Zone 6 plants in her northern Vermont Zone 3 garden because of deep snow cover.
