Here is a great plant for you '60s throwbacks! What a riotous surprise awaits you next August from this fabulous and easy-to-grow Chinese surprise lily. L. sprengeri is found on moist slopes and in bamboo groves in the Anhui, Hubei, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang Provinces of China. In late summer, the dormant bulb gives rise to 5-7 dark pink, lily-like flowers atop 18" tall stems. Each pink petal is carefully painted with an electric blue overlay that is more prominent toward the tip...a truly surreal color combination. Enjoy a mass planting of these, and you'll think you're on one of those trips where you don't have to leave the farm! Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
