1 BULB of Lycoris squamigera - RESURRECTION LILY (SURPRISE LILY)
Old-fashioned plant, that forms clumps of strap-shaped leaves in the spring, the dies back and completely disappears until the flowering time in late summer.
Clusters of soft 5-6" trumpet-shaped pink flowers (with lilac-bluish hint) on naked stems = therefore also called Naked Ladies.
Easy to grow, adaptable and the hardiest of Lycorius. Best if planted in small groups of at least 3-5 pieces and left undisturbed in the ground.
The whole plant is slightly poisonous, so critters avoid it.
Blooming time : late summer to early fall
Size : usually 2' tall flowering stems, leaves 1-1.5' tall. Leaf-clumps 1-2' wide. Spacing 4-8", plant 6-8" deep.
USDA zones : 5 to 9, heat zone 6-12
Culture : full sun, half shade, average soil with some organic matter, loam, clayish. Moderately fertile to fertile soils of any pH.

Origin : Japan
Deer/rabbit resistant : yes/yes
