Paradisea contains two species of herbaceous perennials:-

Paradisea liliastrum (St. Bruno's lily) is a graceful alpine meadow plant from the mountains of southern Europe, with grasslike leaves. Pure white, trumpet-shaped flowers, 3–6 cm (1–2 in) long, with prominent yellow anthers, are borne in late spring. It can be propagated by division of the roots in autumn, or from seed. In good soil it grows to 90 cm (35 in) high, and is used as an ornamental in herbaceous borders. This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

Paradisea lusitanica from Portugal and Spain, is taller than P. liliastrum, growing to 80–120 cm (31–47 in) tall by 30–40 cm (12–16 in) wide; but with shorter flowers 2 cm long.
