Award-winning Amaryllis belladonna (Belladonna Lily) is a bulbous perennial featuring large clusters of up to 4-12 scented, trumpet-shaped, pink flowers, 4 in. long (10 cm) per flower stalk. Protruding from each flower is a long upturned style amongst a group of prominent curved anthers. The anthers are black and shiny at first but split open to reveal masses of white pollen. Opening in late summer or fall, the fragrant blooms tend to face the direction that receives the most sun. Appearing before the leaves, hence the common name of ‘Naked Ladies,’ they rise on long purplish-red and green stems. The foliage of narrowly strap-shaped, dull-green leaves emerges after flowering and dies back in late spring. Amaryllis belladonna requires very little attention and makes a truly unique display in the fall garden. Ridiculously easy to grow, all parts of this plant are poisonous, therefore it is diligently ignored by hungry deer, rabbits, and other critters.
