Abstract:

Large patches of red spider lilies (Lycoris radiata) bloom all around New Bern in mid-September. The lilies were first planted by the Roberts family, and the progeny of the lilies has spread throughout the southeast. In order to grow red spider lilies, horticulturalists should consider several cautionary facts regarding its growing zone.
