EUCHARIS GRANDIFLORA
Amazon Lily

Eucharis grandiflora is a beautiful shade loving plant from South America. The shiny 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 below mid 40's. The bulbs will go dormant if the temperatures go near
freezing. Try to keep the pot elevated from the ground. Sometime fungus in the soil can attack Amazon Lilies.
