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:

Different areas of your landscape have different water requirements.

Shrubs need much less water than lawns and drip systems should never be scheduled on the same program with lawns.

Establish separate watering schedules for those areas.
