Blood Lily 6 Pack

Description

Growing Conditions: Thrives in shade or sun. 

Flower: Exotic red flowers with yellow tips. They’re kind of like fireworks, and they flower around July 4th. 

Leaves: Impressive, wide leaves look almost like hosta leaves on a stalk.   Leaves are about 15 inches tall, lush and thick, and impressive in the shade garden even when the plant isn’t in flower.

How to plant: The bulbs thrive mixed in other ground covers.   I have a nice planting mixed into silver Lamium.

Where to plant: Zone 8! Columbia, Aiken, Augusta, and South!  Plant in shade among very low-growing plants.  You want to see the form, the stem, and the structure of this plant.  

In cold areas, these make a great container plant. Plant three to a pot and the leaves stay up almost all year, in later winter cut them back and they’ll grow back fresh.

Note that sometimes these diminish with time, so plan to plant a few every other year or so. 

Our Bulbs: We ship 6 big mature bulbs per order.
