Hymenocallis. Spider Lilies. The true Spider Lilies are pure white with long narrow 
petals and long stamens giving a spidery appearance. The so called Red Spider Lily and 
Golden Spider Lily are Lycoris. Culture. They are hardy in the south and may be 
planted deep on the border-line as in N. Car., Okla., etc. They do well in pots. In the 
north they may be grown in pots and shifted to garden with arrival of warm weather 
or they may be dug in fall and stored like Ismene and Glads. 
Hymenocallis sp. Tropical Spider Lily. This appears to be the same as H. rotata 
and H. tenuiflora and these two appear to be one species. This is a large species, with 
pure snow-white flowers over 7” wide. It is evergreen in frostless locations. 50c ea. 
H. Harrisii (Harrisiana). A small, deciduous Spider Lily. Flower stem not over 
12” tall. Hardy as far north as Washington, D. C. Rare. $2.50. 
Ismene. These are closely related to Hymenocallis and were usually classified under 
that genus until recently. Most botanists now give the Ismenes generic standing. 
Culture. They can be grown anywhere in the U. S. or where Glads can be grown, 
in the garden. In the colder sections of the north, dig the bulbs in the fall and store like 
Glads. In the middle south, plant 6” deep and mulch well over winter. In the deep 
south they are quite hardy. 
It is very important to store Ismene in a warm room. The storage temperature of 
55° is safe and 70° is still better. Chilling may cause flower buds to blast or the bulbs 
to rot. I have found no advantage in leaving old roots attached.
