Description

The deciduous rhizomes of this Peruvian Lily will often run aggressively if not controlled. They grow best in full to partial sun with some summer watering in dry climates. The florist strains can reach 6' tall, while the compact strains range from 12" to 36" tall. For extra long, florist quality stems, stake or grow through netting for support. -Monterey Bay Nursery
