Pancratium

Pancratium - Graceful Lily-like plants of the Amaryllis order, the only really hardy kind being the S. European P. illyricum, 1 to 2 feet high, which bears in summer umbels of large white fragrant blossoms. It thrives in a warm exposed border of sandy loam soil, well drained, the bulbs protected by litter in winter. These plants are better for transplantation about every third year, as soon as the leaves are decayed in autumn. Increased by offsets. P. maritimum is also hardy in the south, if planted at the foot of a warm wall in light soil its large white flowers, in clustered heads, are very fragrant and semitransparent in texture. The hardiest of the other species are P. parviflorum, littorale, and rotatum, but these only succeed on warm soils in mild localities, and are best in a frame or a cool greenhouse.
