Lycoris straminea Strawberry Lemonade South America We have planted two masses

We have planted two masses of these in our new border to the tune of oohs and aahs

the rosettes rise like an erupting volcano as they burst into flower

That's the only word we could find to express our reaction when we first saw a clump of Epimedium 'Bandit'

Polystichum makinoi is one of those ferns that truly has it all

Carex laxiculmis is another superb American native sedge that can be found in moist woods from Canada south to Florida

Lycoris straminea Strawberry Lemonade South America We have planted two massesLycoris x straminea 'Strawberry Lemonade' is a 2016 Plant Delights JLBG introduction of a plant we originally obtained from plantsman Jim Waddick in 2000. Lycoris 'Strawberry Lemonade' is a cross of Lycoris chinensis x Lycoris radiata var. pumila, that's proved exceptional and vigorous in our trials, with an unrivaled flower density. The 22" tall stalks are topped with peach flushed buds, starting in mid August (NC), which open to creamy white flowers
