The Honey Lily, 'Nectaroscordum siculum', a fall planted bulb, is also know as Sicilian Honey Lily or Sicilian Honey Garlic. The Honey Lily produces clusters of gracefully drooping flowers that are white with a maroon streak down each petal and green at the base. The large loose shaded bell-like blooms face downward. When it has flowered the seed heads then do a reverse and face stiffly upwards. The lovely blooms adorn tall stems. This plant is a relative of Allium, which is apparent when the leaves are crushed, but with very unique flowers. It is not a small or subtle plant, but it does make an interesting accent plant in the spring garden. They bloom in late spring and they can tolerate planting in sun or shade.
