Anthericum liliago major

Pretty white flowered perennials from southern Europe, known as the St Bernard Lily. They grow from an agapanthus-like crown of thick fleshy roots when more dormant in the autumn, providing for splendid, informal looking plants that thrive in moisture retentive soil in good light. When settled, each plant will carry ten or sometimes twenty flower stems piercing upward each carrying a dozen or more flowers looking like little flared trumpets with yellow stamens, opening sequentially up the stems. Supplied from 1 litre plants.
