Lycoris August 27, 2016

Hurricane Lilies are the common name of Lycoris.  They bloom at the height of hurricane season.
 Above, I stuck these bulbs in the ground two years ago.  I separated some clumps in other spots and this is where I planted some of the bulbs that I dug up.  I have these wonderful bulbs planted in ten or so different places throughout my gardens.  They are very easy to plant for two reasons:  they like to be planted very shallowly - very little digging.  They like their necks to stick out of the ground, very unusual for bulbs. And they don't like rich soil (they won't bloom if you make too much effort to treat them kindly, so no soil preparation is required).
