Like most people who have attempted to grow Paradisea liliastrum from seed, I have Anthericum liliago in the garden (many sources, including, apparently, Jelitto, send out the latter under the former's romantic name). Here in western Oregon it's overenthusiastic, but it makes a real weed-suppressing ground cover and a large colony of it is pretty in flower in late spring. I have to get out TOMORROW and cut off all the stems before it ripens any seed, though. I also have a smaller Anthericum species, purchased at a plant sale as Paradisea (of course), and it also self-sows. It may be A. ramosum, but I haven't bothered to ID it as I don't distribute it. As for Paradisea, the one time I did grow the real P. liliastrum, I lost it after 2 or 3 years. However, Paradisea lusitanica, a taller species, is very much at home here. It makes a smaller, more manageable basal rosette than A. liliago and has more tubular white flowers with a little fragrance. Jane McGary Northwestern Oregon, USA
