Cardiocrinum giganteum var. yunnanense NJM 11.023

A new collection from Guizhou, SW China, very near Fanjingshan, where an exceptional form was once found. These should hopefully be as good, producing, when ready, a giant scape of deliciously scented, densely packed creamy-white lily flowers, stained purple in the throat, and contrasting flower stems stained almost black to about 2m high. Cool, rich, humusy soil in part shade.
