Belamcanda (Blackberry Lily)

Blackberry Lily (Belamcanda, Leopard Lily) is a woodland plant that grows naturally on rich, moist forest floors. It has lily-like flowers that appear in early to-mid summer in sprays above the foliage. Sword-shaped, iris-like 10” leaves appear in flattened fans. Flowers give way to pear-shaped seed pods which split open when ripe (late summer), with each pod revealing a blackberry-like seed cluster, hence the common name of blackberry lily. Add it to an existing wooded area or create your own woodland garden. Dappled shade and humus-rich soil provide perfect growing conditions. It is easily grown in average well-drained soils in full sun. Clumps slowly expand by creeping rhizomes, and it may self-seed. It has no serious insect or disease problems.

To plant bare root perennials, dig a hole large enough to encompass the roots without bending or circling. Set the plant in place so the crown (part of the plant where the root meets the stem) is about 1-2” below the soil surface. Cover with soil to the original soil surface and water thoroughly.

Supplied as #1 sized bare root.
