Flowering
From Mid Summer TO Early Autumn
Red Spider Lilies flower in late Summer to early Autumn. Flowers grown in shade will flower a little earlier, and the blooms will last longer (these flowers fade in heat)
Planting
From Late Winter TO Early Summer
Plant bulbs 3" deep and 8" apart in a partly shady site. Because they are leafless when they flower, they look best planted in groups. A handful of bonemeal in the planting hole is beneficial.
Propagating
From Early Spring TO Mid Spring
Propagate by removing and replanting offsets. Dig up the bulbs in Spring, when the leaves have yellowed and withered, and remove offsets, and replant them
