This superb North American swamp bulb is native to East Texas, southern Arkansas, Louisiana, coastal Alabama to Mobile Bay, and the adjacent Florida panhandle. The narrow bright green leaves are erect, and the flowers are white with greenish yellow centers. This bulb requires acidic bog conditions or a really moist garden location and blooms March-May. Another great American southern bulb!
