… Plant a red spider lily, Lycoris radiata, also known as surprise lily and red magic lilies. Growing Red Spider Lily is a great solution for adding more fall color in your landscape garden. The Red spider lily’s a flower that consists of tiny red trumpets, but the spidery appearance comes from the extra long stamens that re-curve into graceful ascending arcs with terminals of buttery yellow pollen. Many Southerners call this lily a ‘Hurricane lily’, because overnight this distinctive Lycoris radiata clustered stems and flowering scapes of multiiple red trumpet shaped lilies arises out of the ground in September, during the sudden heavy rainstorms that mark the peak of the hurricane season. These lilies are well know to grow in Georgia, North Carolina and Texas.
