Unveiling the Magic of Pink Spider Lilies

Prepare to be amazed by the Pink Spider Lily, also known as the Surprise Lily, Resurrection Lily, or Naked Lady Lily. This uniquely behaving lily offers a delightful surprise in your garden. In spring, it sends up smooth, green foliage that lasts through summer. As the foliage dies back, seemingly overnight in late September or early October, a flower spike emerges, bearing a beautiful, showy soft pink flower. This unexpected display makes it a great gardening conversation piece.

These bareroot Pink Spider Lily bulbs are shipped freshly dug and ready for planting. They are perfect for planting in early spring, summer, or early fall. Please note that planting in winter is not recommended. These are live bareroot plants, so order during a time of year that they can be safely shipped in non-freezing temperatures. Ideal for zones 6-10, understanding the lily’s unique life cycle is key to its success.

Enjoy these benefits:

• Unique Bloom Cycle: Foliage disappears before the surprise flower appears.
• Late Season Color: Adds a splash of pink to your garden in late summer/early fall.
• Easy to Plant: Bareroot plants are easy to handle and establish quickly.
• Conversation Starter: A unique and intriguing addition to any garden.
• Hardy in Zones 6-10: Adaptable to a wide range of climates.

We take pride in shipping our plant material thoughtfully and securely. However, plants are delicate, living things and can be vulnerable during shipping. Please use caution when ordering during unusually hot or cold weather.

Successful gardening requires careful planning. Research the best planting time for your area. The optimal time for planting is mid to late spring, past the danger of hard frost. Summer and very early fall are also suitable, as long as your plant is placed in optimal conditions and receives adequate water during the hotter, dryer periods of the summer. When in doubt about suitable planting times or zone compatible plants for your area, reach out to your local Agricultural Extension Office.
