When I saw this beautiful plant at a local "big box" last year, I couldn't resist bringing it home. I planted it in a pot and it did fair. I think I might have overwatered it because the leaves kept falling over and rotting. Eventually, the show was over and I forgot about it. I planted nasturtiums in the pot & enjoyed their bright colors. Suddenly, this year, I saw some green leaves emerging from the center of that pot! My lily has survived and I can't wait to see that unique, dark flower again!
