Neutral Baa On Aug 8, 2002, Baa wrote:

Sulphur Queen is a cross between Hymenocallis amancaes and H. narcissiflora.

Has strap-shaped or oblong, dark green leaves. Bears up to 6, soft yellow, green striped, large flowers which have a strong fragrance.

Flowers anywhere between May-July but the flowers are very short lived lasting only a few days each.

Loves a moist but well-drained soil in sun or partial shade. It won't stand temperatures much lower than 55F even when dormant so best grown indoors.

Water well when in growth but keep dry when dormant.

Plant the bulbs so the neck is above soil level.

Graysville, Alabama
Port Saint Lucie, Florida
Elizabeth City, North Carolina
