Blackberry Lily A Stunning Perennial for Vibrant Summer Gardens

Blackberry Lily, also known as the Belamcanda chinensis, is from the Iris family and has clusters of black fruit that grow after flowering. The fruit resembles blackberries, and the flowers are shaped like stars with six petals each. They measure about 2 inches across. The lilies are pale orange or yellow on the "flabellata," and the petals are spotted. This is why they are sometimes often referred to as the Leopard Flower. 

How to Grow and Care for Blackberry Lily in Your Landscape

Blackberry Lily is a perennial generally grown for its unique blackberries, which form clusters when their seedpods slip open, usually in the fall. They are pretty fascinating and make excellent arrangements for your home. The plant has an orange flower color and chartreuse/gold foliage. It provides colorful fall foliage, blooms in the summer, and is a winter interest. It tolerates drought conditions, does quite well in containers, and is deficient in maintenance.

Blackberry Lily is grown from bulbs or tubers, and these bulbs can be planted at any time of the year as long as the ground is not frozen. Planting these gorgeous lilies in a sunny or lightly shaded area with well-draining soil for the best results is best. It's also best to keep the soil moist. The flowers of the plant last one day, but they are continually blooming during their bloom season. A dry cluster of black fruits will form after the blooms are gone. The blooms will close at night in a twisting form, and their foliage is similar to that of the Iris plant and can reach up to three feet tall.

This Is How Your Plants Will Look upon Delivery

Planting bare-root perennials is best in any season if they are dormant; we only sell dormant plants. Planting them year-round is also excellent if you can get dormant perennials. When your bare-root perennials arrive, soak the roots in water for a few hours to rehydrate them. Lant by digging a hole wide enough to spread the roots comfortably and deep enough to place the top portion crown (where the roots meet the stem) at or slightly above ground level. Position the plant in the hole, backfill with native soil, and gently firm the soil around the roots—water well after planting to settle the soil around the plant and eliminate air. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch to keep weeds at bay and moisture locked in, keeping the mulch away from the crown. Irrigate plants regularly during the first few weeks of drought; never water in full sun, and water late in the evenings to ensure the roots are established well. Fertilize sparingly in the first year, using a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in subsequent years as needed.
