Belladonna Lily
The unique Belladonna Lily (Amaryllis belladonna) is a favorite of many gardeners. In spring, strap-like foliage sprouts up only to die back in midsummer. In late summer and early fall, tall flower spikes appear as if by magic! Each stem sports 4 to 12 trumpet-like pink flowers, complete with a delightful, fruity-floral fragrance. They will happily grow up through other ground covering perennials, and their unusual habit and late bloom time make them great season extenders. You may also recognize them as 'Naked Ladies' (another of their common names), since they bloom on leafless stalks!
