Post by shadylanejewel »

My speciosum rubrum just keep increasing - Love this Lily!

The fragrance can be a little overwhelming on these hot days - but they're worth it. :D

Planted some last year. I sure hope mine look that pretty. Did I understand you to say they INCRESE or do you just plant more because they are so pretty. ??

Hi OC,

They have been increasing on their own. They form bulbils along the stems which drop and eventually become blooming size bulbs. They also set seed which germinates quite easily and becomes even more blooming stems.

They are one of my absolute FAVORITES!
