<\/a>Fall Seed Heads On Blackberry lily at NC Arboretum, Asheville, NC<\/p><\/div> Blackberry lily blooms in early to mid-summer in the Southern Appalachian region (zones 6-7). Numerous 2-inch wide orange flowers strikingly stand out, dotted with red spots. Clusters of shiny black seeds mimic blackberries after capsules split apart.<\/p>\n Non-fussy blackberry lily grows under part shade to full sun and in average soil that is adequately drainage. Fertilize once at the start of spring with 10-10-10 or equivalent granular fertilizer.<\/p>\n Blackberry lily is a prolific seeder. If you do not desire a significant overpopulation in your garden, prune off seed capsules in late summer before they split open. Individual plants are not long-lived if winter soil is soggy. However, enough seeds are dispersed naturally that this short lived perennial is rarely lost.<\/p>\n Blackberry lily is easily started from division of rhizomes or by seed. If started in the garden, set rhizomes 1 inch deep. Sow the seeds in the fall to satisfy a 4 to 6 week cold stratification period. Seeds germinate the following spring and usually bloom the first year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Blackberry Lily (Belamcanda chinensis) is a summer flowering perennial native to China and Japan (USDA hardiness zones 5 -10).
