This hardy, evergreen plant produces large, fragrant, white star-shaped flowers that bloom throughout spring and summer. Its bold, strappy green leaves provide a lush, tropical feel to the garden. The Swamp Lily is perfect for water gardens, beside ponds or in damp garden beds and adds elegance while attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
Care Considerations: | Moderate to high watering and thrives in damp or wet conditions, making it ideal for waterlogged or low-lying areas. Organic mulch helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilisation is rarely needed, though a light feed with a balanced fertiliser during the growing season can boost growth. Prune away spent flower stems and any dead leaves to keep the plant neat and tidy. |
