Position and soil
Loosen the soil before planting and add compost. Hymenocallis grows best in composted and well-draining soil. We suggest planting them in groups, between shrubs, for a fuller effect.
Further Care
For flowers in the home, cut stems 10cm above the bulb. Look out for snails and slugs that may attack their foliage.
