My wife Criss Canning asked me to grow this for her so that she could paint it. The result can be seen on the front cover of this catalogue. This is an easily grown summer flowering Mexican bulb with large deep crimson flowers on 35cm tall stems. Once established each bulb will produce a succession of flowers. The Jacobean Lily grows happily in any sunny or lightly shaded position as long as the soil isn’t allowed to parch. Space about 30cm apart.
