narrow spires of bottlebrush-like white wands

Lycoris caldwellii Sunray Cheilanthes shamrock-likeWe are thrilled to finally name and introduce for 2024, an amazing Margot Williams (USDA) hybrid of Lycoris longituba x chinensis, made back in the 1970s, and thought to be lost. Fortunately, California lycoris guru, Phil Adams was gifted a bulb, that he maintained for the last 40 years, before sharing with us. Starting for us in late August, the sturdy 26" tall spikes are each topped with up to 8 large, butter yellow flowers, beaming in the garden
