Red Spider lily emerges in late summer with striking, bright red flowers perched atop tall, leafless stems, ranging from 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 cm) high. Each flower is a tubular bloom that dramatically recurves, with petals unfurling like the spokes of a wheel. Within the open blooms, long, protruding stamens are a prominent feature. Typically, these vibrant blooms are clustered in groups of 4 to 7, forming an eye-catching umbel that captivates an observer's attention.
