Asphodelus is a genus of mainly perennial flowering plants in the asphodel family Asphodelaceae that was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753. The genus was formerly included in the lily family (Liliaceae). The genus is native to temperate Europe, the Mediterranean, Africa, the Middle East, and the Indian Subcontinent, and some species have been introduced to, and are now naturalized in, other places such as New Zealand, Australia, Mexico and southwestern United States. Many asphodels are popular garden plants, which grow in well-drained soils with abundant natural light.

What is the plant
How to Care for the Plant
Water
Most of the time it is not necessary to water, the asphodel tolerates drought quite well. If the summer months are particularly dry, you can water sparingly, preferably in the evening.
Pruning
Cut back faded flower stems or leave for attractive seedheads.
Additional
Our flowering plants were grown from seed about seven years ago, so they take their time reaching maturity – but once they've attained it, they're a striking presence in the garden.
