Twining Snake Lily is a wildflower native to California. It has thin, twisting or twining stems that wrap around other plants as they grow, topped by round clusters of pink to purple tubular flowers. It blooms in spring through early summer, and then retreats back to its bulb or corm during the dry season. It’s beautiful, delicate, and has a very natural, playful habit.
