Leopard Lily (Belamcanda Chinensis) 10 seeds
Availability: In Stock
The fruits and flowers of this charming, but heavily self-sowing, perennial add appeal to the summer garden. Blackberry lily is an old fashioned flower that originates from Russia, China and India. It forms upright clumps of stiff, sword-like leaves of medium green. In summer, tall, airy, branched stems appear topped with orange lily-like flowers with red and yellow markings. These are followed by clusters of small, round, glossy black fruits that look much like blackberries.
Drought tolerant and tough, blackberry lily is a reliably beautiful perennial for any sunny garden with well-drained, average soil. The only caveat is that this member of the iris family has a tendency to self-sow readily, so be sure to remove its seedheads before they fall to the ground. (Learn2Grow.com)
