Diuranthera (syn. Chlorophytum) major

Hardy Spider Plant

Plant Type:

SHADE PERENNIALS

Diuranthera major (syn. Chlorophytum major) –  2 very full pots available. This is the Hardy Spider Plant. Yes, this is a hardy relative of the well-known hanging basket plant complete with long arching lance-shaped green leaves 16” to 18” long. Multitudes of husky, late summer stems arise growing considerably taller than the foliage; they sport dozens of white flowers composed of narrow petals surrounding central golden stamens. Flower stems grow taller than the 16 to 18-inch designation. Bees love it. It's a clumper. And if happy it will self-sow. Who’d a thunk: a Hardy Spider Plant?! This will make an easy-natured low maintenance ground cover - an impressive one at that! If ordered in our fall catalog your perennial will arrive cut back. For gardeners towards the northern end of its range spring planting is advised. Established potted plant, seed grown.


From Derek M. (NC) - Hello, Thank you for the Chlorophytum - I received it yesterday and I cannot get over how large and healthy that plant is. I was expecting something quite a bit smaller. Thank you so much! Sincerely, Derek M. Winston-Salem, NC
