This bulbous plant has been used since ancient times for its medicinal properties. An extract of the bulbs of the Sea Lily has been used in the treatment of heart disease and rheumatism. Nowadays it is mainly used as an ornamental plant in gardens and parks for its aesthetic value, but also for its ability to tolerate extreme conditions such as salt water and high temperatures, thus contributing to soil conservation in coastal areas.
