Blooming: Lycoris Radiata

August 30, 2008 02:44 by The Fearrington Gardeners

This is the time of year to see lots of Lycoris radiata appear in beds, lawns, even in gravel paths and driveways.  These coral-red blooming members of the lily family are sometimes called Spider Lilies.  The larger pink blooming and fragrant Lycoris Squamigera is known as Surprise Lily or Naked Lady.  Our L. radiata are coming up in the beds near the Old Granary and in the Inn courtyard this week.  Look quickly!  They don't last long in the heat.
