Pancratium maritimum

 

Sea Daffodil

Pancratium maritimum grows on beaches and coastal sand dunes and come the warm spring sunshine, large, fragrant daffodil-like blooms appear in white over grey-green leaves. These plants will thrive in a sheltered, well-drained spot in a pot or planted in a sandy soil in the garden.
