The Rare Scarlet Aztec Lily, with Huge Butterfly-Shaped Blooms! 6-inch flowers on sturdy 18-inch stems!
Difficult to find but so easy to grow, this bulb produces amazing crimson blooms a full 6 inches across, suspended on graceful 18-inch stems and banked by arching, strap-like foliage of fresh green! The blooms resemble butterflies, with long, narrow petals of a long-lasting, waxy texture held up and out from a central cluster of long, cheery bright yellow anthers. An excellent garden or outdoor-container plant in all areas south of Washington, D.C., Sprekelia is also one of the finest houseplants for any climate! Best in sun or light shade.
