Voodoo Lily – Dracunculus Vulgaris
Nearly-Black Voodoo Lily Bulbs for Sale | Dracunculus Vulgaris
There’s something extraordinary about the unusual allure of Dracunculus Vulgaris. Whether you look at this plant and see something strangely beautiful or mildly spooky, there’s no denying it evokes an intense feeling, and that’s exactly what we want! Massive blooms growing up to 3′ tall are created by a nearly black spadix surrounded by a flaring reddish-purple spathe. Talk about a commanding presence!
Adding to the overall mystery, these Voodoo Lilies attract pollinators by emitting an unsavory fragrance, but don’t worry – it’s just for a single day! Finally, the fascinating flowers are accented by gorgeous foliage that forms a small forest of palmate leaves atop the patterned stems. Blooming from late spring to early summer, Dracunculus are toxic, making them highly resistant to gophers, deer, and rabbits. Enjoy!
