I have had this plant in my garden for some years now and I just cannot remember the name. Please can you help?



I grows in 2-3 foot high spikes when the flowers are finished the seeds resemble shiny green beads. The foliage is grey/green spiky leaves which grow out of the main stem.

Hi.  Well it looks like some sort of Lily to me but I'm afraid I don't know the variety.

It is Asphodelus luteus.

Is it a member of the Lily family, Eric?

Asphodeline lutea (Yellow aspodel) according to my RHS book ;D Neat, clump-forming perrenial that bears dense spikes of star shaped yelow flowers amid narrow grey-green leaves in late spring ;D Like what Eric said ;D

It is in a family of its own and is related amongst other things to Knifophia, Red hot pokers and Eremurus.
