Commercial Size Lycoris

Lycoris Rose is the name of our acreage in Southeastern Rankin County. It is the back ten acres of what was my dad’s forty acre farm. A series of garden rooms, paths, small woodlots, a barn, compost piles and chicken coops make up Lycoris Rose.
Fifteen or twenty different rose varieties and thousands of rescued or liberated spider lilies (Lycoris Raditia) and several dozen crinum lilies and many Eastern cedar trees make up the bones of our gardens. All blooming at different times of the year with some overlap of flowering from the daffodils in the spring all the way to the spider lilies and roses in the fall.
This site is here to help develop a niche in the market for hard to find yet easy to grow bulbs and roses that are nearly as in trenched in the South as magnolias and long-leaf pines.
This site can help us share stories and adventures and perhaps sell a few Lycoris Raditia.
