![Out of the six newly planted lilies, four have started to flower.](https://i1.wp.com/www.smallrooms.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/FrontGarden_2520.jpg?resize=980%2C653)
Texas Spider Lily (Hymenocallis liriosme [Raf.] Shinners). I’ve always had really good luck with these beauties as a container plant. They have now also been planted in my newly designed front garden. We felt that their vertical spiky foliage would be a good replacement for the Louisiana iris that didn’t perform well outside of two spring months. Eventually these original six plants will multiply and should provide a spectacular show in about three years. If you’re interested in growing these, I recommend purchasing them from The Southern Bulb Company.
