An absolute delight, Red Spider Lily, Lycoris radiata, entertains us in late summer with its brilliant red spider-shaped flowers whose petals curl upwards. 

These beauties seem to magically appear in late summer. 
The fascinating flowers bring a wonderful fragrance. 
In spring its long thick strap-like foliage makes an attractive mound. 

Its leaves disappear in summer. 
It easily grows in sun to part shade, needing little care.
Plant Red Spider Lily in ground cover or between Hosta, Hibiscus, and other perennials or shrubs. 

Their foliage will cover the bare spot left by the Lycoris. 
Also works great in open woodland gardens, meadows, or wild areas.
Other descriptive names for Lycoris include Magic Lily, Hurrian Lily, Naked Lady, Surprise Lily, and Resurrection Lily because its leaves disappear in summer with the flower spikes seemingly rising from the dead in late summer.

Lycoris radiata is red spider lily.
A bulbous perennial producing umbels of 4-6 bright red, late-summer flowers with wavy-margined, reflexed petals and conspicuous anthers. 
Strap-shaped, dark green, semi-erect leaves appear after flowering and persist through the winter into early spring

Spider Lily (Lycoris Radiata), known as the red spider lily, red magic lily, corpse flower, or equinox flower, is a plant in the amaryllis family, Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae.
It is originally from China, Japan, Korea and Nepal and spread from there to the United States and elsewhere. 

It is considered naturalized in Seychelles and in the Ryukyu Islands.
It flowers in the late summer or autumn, often in response to heavy rainfall. 
The common name hurricane lily refers to this characteristic, as do other common names, such as resurrection lily; these may be used for the genus as a whole.

Spider Lily (Lycoris Radiata) Extract also contains the alkaloid galantamine, which has been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (USDA) for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
The plant is cultivated in China for galantamine extraction. 

Plants of the amaryllis family are all known to contain varying quantities of naturally occurring galantamine, and the compound can be extracted in trace amounts from the leaves and roots of L. radiata, but is most abundant within the bulbs.
Spider Lily (Lycoris Radiata) Extract has also shown promise in preliminary studies of cytotoxic effects on cancer cells, though further research is required.

Spider lily plants bloom in bold red, pink, white and even yellow shades with long, curling filaments. 
Also called magic lily and resurrection lily, pink lycoris are especially cold hardy and fragrant. 
Their bloom stalks pop up, seemingly out of nowhere, in mid to late summer, which is how they get their common names. 

Spider lilies make excellent, dramatic cut flowers and are extremely long lasting in vases. 
Native to southern and eastern Asia, spider lilies are perennial flowers that are highly resistant to deer and gophers. 
They prefer partial shade and well-drained soil.

Spider Lily (Lycoris Radiata) Extract is a powdered form of the extract obtained from the Lycoris radiata herb, also known as the Red Spider Lily or Hurricane Lily. 
This herb is native to East Asia and has been used in traditional medicine for Spider Lily (Lycoris Radiata) Extract's potential health benefits.

Lycoris Red (Lycoris radiata) has large iridescent red flowers with reflexed petals and long curving stamens in Autumn.
Lycoris have a few common names; Spider Lily, Hurricane Lily and Cluster Amaryllis are just a few. 

These hardy members of the Amaryllis family are dormant during the Summer months and bear their beautiful flowers during Autumn before growing foliage in the cooler months. 

They like a hot sunny position during the warmer months, and grow best when they are left undisturbed. 
Lycoris are ideal for pots and containers rockeries and borders. 
Prefers a full sun position in fertile well drained soil.

DESCRIPTION OF SPIDER LILY (LYCORIS RADIATA) EXTRACT:
Lycoris radiata is a bulbous perennial with showy, bright-red flowers. 

When in full bloom, spindly stamens, likened to the image of spider legs, extend slightly upward and outward from the flower's center.
The flowers of the plant generally appear around late August to early September, before the leaves fully develop, on scapes rising 30–70 centimetres (12–28 in) from the ground. 

Four to six 2-inch long flowers, arranged in umbels, perch atop each plant stalk.
Individual flowers are irregular, with narrow segments which curve backwards.

The leaves, which tend to emerge in October, are a greyish-green color, parallel-sided, 0.5–1 cm (1⁄4–3⁄8 in) wide and feature a paler central stripe. 
The plant retains its leaves throughout the winter season, but will begin to shed them away as temperatures start to warm in late spring

TAXONOMY OF SPIDER LILY (LYCORIS RADIATA) EXTRACT:
The presumed original form of Lycoris radiata, known as L. radiata var. pumila, occurs only in China. 
It is a diploid, with 11 pairs of chromosomes (2N = 22), and is able to reproduce by seed. 

Triploid forms, with 33 chromosomes, are known as L. radiata var. radiata. 
These are widespread in China and also in Japan, from where the species was introduced into cultivation in America and elsewhere. 

The triploid forms are sterile, and reproduce only vegetatively, via bulbs. 
The Japanese triploids are genetically uniform. 
It has been suggested that they were introduced into Japan from China along with rice cultivation.

In phylogenetic analyses based on chloroplast genes, Hori et al. found that all the other species of Lycoris they examined were nested within Lycoris radiate. 
They suggest that the "species" of Lycoris presently recognized may not be distinct.

CULTIVATION OF SPATHOLOBUS SUBERECTUS STEM EXTRACT:
All plant species belonging to the genus Lycoris, including L. radiata, are native to East Asia.
The plant was first introduced into the United States in 1854 following the signing of the Treaty of Kanagawa, a peace treaty brokered between the United States of America and Japan which effectively opened up Japanese ports for trade with the U.S.

It is alleged that Captain William Roberts, a botany enthusiast and an ally of Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry of the U.S Navy, returned to the U.S with only three bulbs of the red spider lily from this travels abroad.
The bulbs were then planted by his niece who found that they did not bloom until after the first good rain in the fall season. 

L. radiata has since become naturalized in North Carolina, Texas, Oklahoma, and many other southern states of the US. 
Since the Japanese variety of L. radiata is a sterile triploid, the introduced plants were also sterile and could only reproduce via bulb division. 
Today, red spider lilies are appreciated as ornamental and medicinal plants in various countries all across Asia, Europe and in the United States.

Before being placed into the ground, L. radiata bulbs should be stored in a dry environment between 7–13 °C (45–55 °F). 
The bulbs are ideally planted during the spring in rich, well-drained soil (e.g. sandy with some clay), 20 cm (8 in) deep and 15–30 cm (6–12 in) apart from one another. 

When possible L. radiata ought to be placed in plots that either receive ample sunlight or are partially shaded. 
Once planted, the bulbs are best left undisturbed.
Lycoris radiata is not frost-hardy in countries like England, and so can only be grown under glass or in a very sheltered environment. 

In warm-summer climates such as the U.S. east of the Rocky Mountains, where there is sufficient summer heat to harden off the bulbs, the plants are hardy to around −18 °C (0 °F).
Like other plants in the genus Lycoris, L. radiata remains dormant during the summer season, flowering on leafless scapes once the summer begins to transition into the fall.

Red spider lilies are sometimes referred to as magic lilies because It is said that the radiant red flowers appear to bloom "magically" from their unremarkably bare stalks.

Furthermore, in the environments in which they are commonly grown, L. radiata tend to bloom in step with the coming of the rainy season, and or the coming of the hurricane season, as well as the fall equinox. 

As such, spider lilies are also known as hurricane lilies or equinox lilies.
Like all members of the genus Lycoris, the bulbs of Lycoris radiata are poisonous, mostly due to the presence of the toxic alkaloid lycorine.
