Description

The Blackberry Lily is naturalized from Nebraska to Connecticut, south to Georgia and over to Kansas. An Asian introduction, it is very versatile and thrives in moist to dry soil and partial or full sun. In the mid-summer, salmon orange star-shaped flowers with red spots will open on 3' plants with long, iris-like leaves. This makes a beautiful, unusual addition to any garden.

Water Saving Tip:

Fix leaking sprinklers, valves, and pipes.

One broken spray sprinkler can waste 10 gallons per minute - or 100 gallons in a typical 10 minute watering cycle.
