Blackberry Lily Belamcanda Chinensis

Blackberry Lily is an easy care perennial with an awesome tropical flower! This plant is very similar in appearance to an iris plant, with flat, sword-like leaves arranged in a fan on a small tuberous rhizome. The foliage grows to 18” tall and the plants produce many offsets. The flowers, however, are very different in appearance from typical iris flowers. They are borne on 2-3 foot tall slender stems in loose, branched spikes. The flowers are 2” wide and are a brilliant orange with black speckles. Individual blooms are short-lived, but the plants produce a succession of flowers over a period of several weeks in summer. The flowers are followed by seed pods that open to reveal the round, shiny black seeds arranged in clusters resembling large blackberries that give rise to the common name. The seeds remain on the stalks for several months. When left standing, the seed heads offer good winter interest, especially when viewed against a backdrop of snow. The seed heads are also a unique addition to dried flower arrangements. Grow blackberry lily in full sun or light shade. It prefers well-drained, moderately fertile loamy soil, but does just fine in sandy or clay soils. Hardy in zones 4-10. These plants are currently growing in 4” pots in our greenhouse. They will be shipped with moist material wrapped around their roots.
