Hymenocallis Ismene festalis ‘Peruvian Daffodil’ (1 bulb)

A fantastic addition to any garden, the Hymenocallis Ismene festalis ‘Peruvian Daffodil’ grows about 45cm / 18″ in height.

The flowers are ivory white and very unique, they have between 3-5 highly scented flowers on each stem with a white daffodil-like cup, surrounded by 6 slender cured petals. The foliage comes from the base and will grow about 30cm high.

The Hymenocallis Ismene festalis smells like Lily of the Valley with lemon overtones – a popular fragrance that makes this flower perfect for indoor displays and outdoor containers.

They love a sunny position and are ideal for your garden borders or planted straight into medium-sized containers, so they can be easily lifted and stored over winter to protect them from the colder climate. They can also be grown indoors in pots.

Plant outdoors in rich soil with well-decayed farmyard manure between March and June for a recurring show year after year, once the danger of frost has passed. If you want to plant, indoors use a multipurpose compost and grow them in a sunny spot or in a warm greenhouse. Once the risk of frost has passed, they can be transplanted outside from May onwards.
