How are these spectacular “Mexican Shellflowers” not a thing in every nursery in mild climate zones? SIMPLE to grow, they originate from Winter-dormant corms that handily multiply to create lovely spreading clumps of upright, emerald, sword-shaped foliage. Blooming in their first year, you’ll adore the large 4” across vibrant red & beautifully patterned sky-facing flowers that last but a day, but keep coming for a month or more – with more & more flowers each successive year. All they need is well-draining soil & a top-dress of each Spring. Bulbs can be overwintered in colder climes. Reportedly hardy to zone 7a. Avg. water during growth & bloom.
