The Lycoris sanguinea is often called the "Orange Spider Lily." The blooms are a bright orange that bloom in late summer to fill your garden with color when most blooms in your garden are dying. They really work best in zones 5b-7a because they need a good winter freeze to help them prepare for the next growing season.

How they bloom: Lycoris sanguinea "Orange Spider Lily" bulbs bloom differently than most flowers. Now is a perfect time to plant these bulbs. These bulbs need 1-2 years after they are planted before presenting blooms. Your bulbs are developing a strong root system right now to support future foliage and eventually blooms. You should see the foliage this February - May, but don't be concerned if you don't. Most people still expect to see something growing during the summer months. You won't see anything. These bulbs are dormant in the summer. After 1-2 years, the flowers suddenly appear with the first later summer and early fall rains. One day there is nothing growing and then suddenly you have a surprise, a fully blooming flower! This bulb acts very similarly to red spider lilies, yellow spider lilies, and schoolhouse lilies. Simply put, they bloom in the fall, have foliage for the winter, and are dormant during the summer.

Foliage: Let's talk foliage for a moment. The "Orange Spider Lily's" strap-shaped long foliage will look great by itself in the spring or mixed in with spring blooms. We know that we all want to see the beautiful unusual blooms in the late summer, but the foliage is very important. The foliage is what allows the bulb to grow and multiply. Many people get very concerned if they don't see the bloom the first year that they plant it and believe that maybe the bulb isn't any good. A good rule for perennial bulbs....if the bulb is firm when you plant it, it is healthy and will eventually come up. The foliage is what you watch for since the bulbs aren't going to bloom for 1-2 years. The foliage will grow during the spring months, February - May, so be sure to plant the bulbs where they will receive at least 6+ hours of winter sun. Even if the foliage gets hit by a winter cold snap, it will have taken in nutrients for months! Always allow the foliage to die down naturally and don't cut it off. If you cut it, you are killing the bulb. Once the foliage is completely dead which is usually around the middle of May, this area can be mowed. Remember, it takes a lot of energy for the bulb to push that bloom up out of the ground and open wide. The more time the bulbs can take in nutrients, the more energy they will have for that fall bloom.

Just a thought...if it looks like you are going to have a cold snap and want to protect your foliage, you might consider covering it with a bucket and then removing the bucket once the daytime temperatures warm up.

Blooms: When talking about late-summer color, these orange blooms catch your eye. In late summer, each bulb sends up a 12-16 inch stem that holds several blooms. Each naked stem pops up out of the ground almost overnight. The orange petals are slightly reflexed displaying the yellow stamens within. The blooms will appear late August or early September on a naked stalk like the other Lycoris. It may take 1-2 years before the blooms appear, but the show it produces in late summer is unparrelled. Once established in your garden they are there for a lifetime! These blooms need water to bloom. They respond to the late summer rains well, but if there is a hard drought, be sure to begin watering the area around the beginning of July to help the bulbs have enough energy to bloom. A naked stalk will rise quickly and a few days later the landscape will burst with bright blooms.

Sun Requirements: The single most important thing about landscaping with Lycoris is the sun. They need at least 6+hours of WINTER sun. That means about 6-8 hours of sunlight during the winter months - they do great with full winter sun. Because they are dormant during the summer, the amount of summer sun doesn't usually matter; however, Lycoris sanguinea will keep some of their color better if they get some afternoon shade during their blooming time in August/September.

The Lycoris all have the same requirements of the sun. If you look at the photo above of the Lycoris squamigera "Naked Lady" blooms, you will see that they are in the shade of the trees. You can be sure that most, if not all, of those trees, will lose their leaves in the winter when the greenery needs sunlight. Lycoris put on their foliage during the winter (February - May) and that is when it takes in the nutrients it needs to produce the blooms in September. The winter foliage soaks up sun energy during winter as it prepares for summer dormancy. The foliage normally completely dies down around May.

Plant: Don't plant the bulb too deep. You will plant the bulbs 2-3 times deep the height of the bulb (so if your bulb is 1" tall, then you will plant it 2-3 inches deep). Because they bloom on a naked stalk, they look better when planted in groups. You can plant the bulbs close together (2-4 inches apart) to make the blooms look more natural or spread the bulbs out and allow 6-8 inches in between each bulb. The area will look sparse the first couple of years that the blooms come up, but the bulbs will multiply and fill in several years after that.

Lycoris bulbs really do well in any type of soil except full clay. They thrive in soil that has plenty of organic material mixed in but they do not require fertilizer. Newly planted bulbs would actually be harmed by exposure to fertilizer, so if you are going to apply nutrients, limit the application to established plants when the plants are producing their green leafy foliage during the winter. After planting the bulbs, water the soil thoroughly. Damp soil is ok, as long as the bulbs are in a spot where they will receive plenty of winter sun and the foliage is allowed to die down naturally in the spring. Standing water is not good. Once the summer season starts these bulbs will do best in soil that dries out a bit, as this facilitates its entry into the dormant stage when the leaves die back. This period is followed by its blooming season when it will reward daily watering with long-lasting blooms. Too much moisture in the soil will lead to the bulbs rotting.

Bulbs to use with Lycoris: There are an assortment of perennial flower bulbs that go well with Lycoris blooms. When the bloom appears in late August or early September, it will look great with rain lilies and other spider lilies. The foliage makes a great backdrop for spring bloomers like Narcissus Jonquils, campernelles, twin sisters, and snowflakes.

FUN FACTS:

POLINATORS: Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds are attracted to the orange spider lily.

"Sanguinea" is a Latin word that means "blood-red" or "bloody" in English. It's often used to describe something that is a deep red color, reminiscent of the color of blood. This term is commonly used in various scientific fields to describe organisms, such as plants or animals, that have a reddish hue.

How to pronounce sanguinea...

  • "san" sounds like "san" in "sand."
  • "gwin" sounds like "gwin" in "gwinnett."
  • "ee" sounds like the letter "e" in "see."
  • "uh" sounds like "uh" in "duh."

So, when you put it all together, it's "san-gwin-ee-uh." The emphasis is on the second syllable, "gwin."

These give the benefits of a silk pillowcase on a budget.
Color: White, Size: Standard(20"X 26")
These are very nice pillowcases. Are these made from mulberry silk? I’d have to say no based on the burn test. However if anyone thinks they’re going to get a real mulberry silk pillowcase for this price, they need a reality check. I’ve purchased authentic mulberry silk pillowcases online from between $45 and $105. Most are $70 and up. I’ve bought a number of so called silk pillowcases up to $25. The Infiixso pillowcases are probably the nicest of this latter group. They have the right amount of sheen and the right amount of slip to them. They are very soft and went through the wash well in a mesh bag. I did put them in the dryer and meant to take them out after ten minutes but forgot them; taking them out after about 20 minutes on medium heat. One was a little wrinkly but it was in the mesh bag still. The other one came out fine. These fit my pillows without issue. The zipper seems to be sewn in well. The white is a true crisp white. These sleep cool and my hair glides across them so my hair looks better in the morning than if using a regular non-silk pillowcase.

Color: White, Size: 2 Pack Standard(20"X 26")
Warning: if you buy the color black, it will bleed and stain your pillows. This happened to me. I had to throw out my pillows. This issue does not sway my rating. The pillowcase is wrinkle-free and super soft. Fits standard-size and queen-size pillows. Quality and appearance are excellent. After my unfortunate purchase of the black pillowcases, I purchased the white, and I’m very happy I did. I gave a 5-star rating because they are beautiful and of great quality.

LOVE this silk pillowcase!
Color: Cream, Size: Queen(20"X 30")
I have been wanting a silk pillowcase for awhile but wasn't sure if I would like sleeping on one. Much to my delight, I LOVE sleeping on a silk pillowcase and this one is quite nice. First- I love that it fit my oversized pillow. I ordered a queen size and I had some room to spare without it being overly big. I also love that it has a zipper close so the pillow case stays on well and doesn't move around too much. I washed it before using and let it air dry and the pillow case didn't have any wrinkles which is wonderful. It stays cool to sleep on and my skin and hair love it! Very comfortable, great value and lovely design!

THIN BUT SUPER SOFT
Color: White, Size: Standard(20"X 26")
Note that the fabric is thin and the pillow may show through. A plain white pillowcase underneath easily resolves this. Still a recommended buy — exceptionally soft and very inexpensive!
