Belladonna Lily
Discover the enchanting Belladonna Lily, also known as 'Naked Ladies,' for a unique late-season garden spectacle. These lilies, botanically Amaryllis belladonna, bloom on leafless stalks in mid to late summer, unfurling vibrant pink flowers after their spring foliage has faded. Thriving in hot, dry conditions and partial shade, they are perfect companions for hostas or daylilies. Hardy in Zones 7-10, they are suitable for containers and rock gardens, though they require winter protection in colder climates. Their distinctive blooming habit and resilience make them a captivating addition to any landscape.
