Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The very rare white version of the easy-to-grow cobra lily. The flowers are white with green stripes at the base, the 3-lobed leaves can reach over in 2' diameter. Grows into sizable clumps over time and can be divided for sharing. Emerges very late; late May into June, but once it emerges, things go fast and the plant goes into leaf and bloom at the same time. Grows well in shade where summers are hot (90s +) but takes quite a bit of sun in cooler climates. Needs well drained soil and don't give extra water until they sprout.
