Coastal Spiderlily is native to the southern coastal counties of NC and south to Florida. It is a herbaceous perennial bulb that grows in moist soil with up to 6 inches of standing water in tidal marshes, margins of tidal guts and banks of backwater rivers. The leaves are strap-like and nearly erect and fragrant spider-lily flowers are produced in spring in clusters. This plant requires consistently moist soil and should not dry out between watering. Use in water gardens, bogs or along ponds. More information on Hymenocallis .
