Ismene. Their large, very fragrant, white flowers are very desirable for cutting and 
are seen often in: florists’ shops. The flowers are about the size of daffodils and because 
there is a cup in the center, they are often called “Peruvian Daffodils.” 
Culture. They are hardy only in the south. With deep planting they may be grown 
as far north as the Carolinas, where they should be covered by 5” of soil and well 
mulched in winter. Probably safe to leave in the ground in Oklahoma. In the north, 
plant in the garden in early spring and after frost cuts down the tops, dig and dry the 
bulbs well, then store at a temperature over 55°. If too cold in storage the bulbs will not 
flower and they may rot. Even in the south they must be covered by 4” of soil. Ismenes 
can also be grown in pots. See also their close relative, Elisena.
