New! Spider Lily or Swamp Lily (Crinum pedunculatum). The Spider Lily is a beautiful leafy shrub. It grows to around 2m tall and 2m wide and has thick, succulent strappy foliage. Crinum pedunculatum produces gorgeous, fragrant white flowers. Flowers resemble large ‘spiders’. Flowers are followed by round green seed capsules, borne on a long stalk. Seeds can sprout while still attached to the mother plant. Despite the name ‘Swamp Lily’, this Crinum is actually very versatile, and does not need to be grown in a swamp! More information or buy
