Description
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!

Well worth it!
"I have had these growing in zone 5a for over 25 years, and of all places, under a black walnut tree. That "clump" spread enough that I have moved some of them 125 miles south of there. They do take a while to establish, but they are worth the wait!"
Hardy in zone five
"Bulbs readily multiple. Have had them for years and rarely have needed to thin them out. They have been hardy in zone 5 - have not needed to winter the bulbs inside. Only "con" is that during the summer, I often forget their location so it is difficult to add to the garden when leaves die back and flower has not yet emerged."
Amaryllis belladonna thrives in zone 6a
"Amaryllis belladonna grows well in zone 6a in morning sun and part shade. Planted on east side of house or porch foundation planting. You do not have to dig them up each winter. Looks good with Vinca vine in shadier areas, or peonies in a sunnier area, but as the foliage starts to die back it should be tied up so it will not lay on the Vinca vine or surrounding plants. Wait until the leaves totally die back before removing dead leaves, the same way you do other perennial bulb foliage such as tulips and gladiola corms and bulbs. The leaves provide energy to the bulbs for the next flowering season. Do not water too much it may rot the bulbs. When established annual rainfall should be fine and you should not have to water at all except in extremely dry spells. To tie back, if you have a cottage style garden you can use wide colorful rubber bands for a belted dress, and top it off with a tiny straw hat attached with jute or ribbon. Just gather the foliage and fold it over, and place rubber band at the "waist" area. One year I made them look like little traditional Mexican men and women dressed up for a fiesta. Amaryllis belladonna appreciates leaf mulch in winter and compost in early spring. The leaves grow really fast so it's a good idea to put peony cages or the bottom part of a tomato cage (with extra wire strung across the opening like a dream-catcher) over the plants as soon as you notice them emerging in the spring so they will not smother other plants in your garden."
lovely Belladona lily
"these blubs have been wonderful. always blooming and no care by me. lovely, replanted and are now up (spring time). Hope they bloom if not still nice to have ready for the coming years."
Plant and forget!
"These easily planted bulbs provide effortless spring-pink color at a time of year when many other flowers have faded. The attractive strappy leaves provide interest in the cool season, and serve as a reminder of where you planted them. A very neat plant, it serves as a nice lawn border in front of shrubs facing a swimming pool, but I've seen them equally lovely as clumps in wooded areas. They comes back year after year and multiply without fertilizer or any special care. Best of all, Naked Lady is drought tolerant and needs no summer water."
In Nebraska winter hardy, blooms in Aug.
"I plant in a flower plot. Be sure it gets water in late July in order to bloom in August. A real pleasure and surprise to see in Aug. a hot month."
