EUCHARIS
GRANDIFLORA
Amazon Lily
Eucharis grandiflora
is a beautiful shade
loving plant from South America. The shinny dark green foliage is very attractive.
Occasionally during the year white flowers will emerge. Mature clumps can
flower at different times of the year but more often it will flower in the
spring.
It likes shade and sheltered areas and makes an excellent potted plant.
It can be planted in the garden in frost free places.
They are quite easy to grow. Just keep the soil slightly moist all the time
and try to avoid temperatures bellow 45.° The bulbs will go dormant
if the temperatures goes near freezing.
Try to keep the pot elevated from the ground. Sometime fungus in the soil
can attack Amazon Lilies.
