Lycoris has a few common names; Spider Lily, Hurricane Lily and Cluster Amayllis are just a few. Lycoris aurea (Yellow flower) Lycoris radiata (Red flower) comes from the Amaryllidaceae family and originates from China. Lycoris is a bulbous perennial with a clumping habit.

• Where to Plant lycoris

  Lycoris grow best in conditions where the soil drains well, and they will receive plenty of sun. They will survive with 5âââ€? hours of direct sun per day, but more sun encourages prolific flowering. If you notice water puddles 5âââ€? hours after a hard rain, scout out another site or amend the soil with organic material.

• When to Plant lycoris

  The ideal time to plant Lycoris bulbs is between late summer and early fall. The roots will form in the autumn, with leaves developing in spring and flowers following roughly 6 weeks thereafter.

• How to Plant lycoris

  For outdoor landscape planting, find a spot with well-drained soil where your Lycoris will receive full sun. Dig holes and plant your bulbs 6âââ€?" apart with their necks above the surface and their pointed tops facing upwards.
  For container planting, locate a vessel large enough to support your plants with adequate drainage holes and fill it with a commercial potting mix that drains well. Dig holes and plant your bulbs 6âââ€?" apart with their necks above the surface and their pointed tops facing upwards. Place your container where it will get full to three-quarters day direct sun.
  Water thoroughly to settle the soil around the bulbs.

• How to Grow lycoris

  Water as needed during active growth periods, with no more than 1" of water per week as an estimate.
  Leave the foliage in place after blooming has finished for the season. The leaves gather sunlight, create food through photosynthesis, and strengthen the plant for the future.
  Remove the foliage when it turns yellow and withers.
  Withhold water after removing the foliage and allow your Lycoris to rest for a few months before beginning the next growing cycle.

• Lycoris Tips & Tricks

  Amend soil with compost, finely ground bark, or decomposed manure to raise the level 2âââ€?" to improve the drainage.
  Feel free to cut flowers when in bloom for dramatic bouquet additions, as doing so will not hurt your plants.
  Ensure that your Lycoris plant never sits for long periods in waterlogged soil.
  Plant in trios or add other bulbs, annuals, or perennials, around your Lycoris to fill out container plantings and create a lush display.

Bulbs are among the easiest flowers to grow, not only are they affordable, but bulbs offer the most stunning colors available. Even the most novice gardener can create a breathtakingly beautiful spring garden with bulbs.

What's a Bulb?

A flower bulb is really a self-contained flower factory. Within this marvelous little package is nearly everything the flower needs to come to life! Split a bulb open, for instance, and you'll see its baby flower bud, leaves, roots, stem and food supply. All bulbs need from you is to be placed in the ground at the appropriate season of year, given a liberal drink of water then left to work their magic.

Variety:

Flower bulbs come in seemingly limitless varieties which makes them perfectly suitable for any garden design you can dream up.

Is It a bulb ?

The Difference Between Bulbs, Corms, Tubers, Roots,Today, people commonly us the term 'bulb' to refer to any plant that stores its own food underground.

When To Plant

In fall, after soil temperatures are below 50ºF/10ºC. These bulbs bloom the following spring and require the cold winter temperatures for development. But let's say winter arrives and your bulbs are still in their bag. Not to worry! Bulbs are pre-programmed to grow so even if you have to plant through snow, plant your bulbs!

How To Plant

Most bulbs thrive in either full or partial sun and in almost any location with good drainage. Avoid planting at the base of hills or under drainage pipes where water collects and will rot the bulbs.
