| Last winter I did an online trade and received seed for Belamcanda chinensis Blackberry Lily (which is actually an iris). I have a photo of some nice little plants, just transplanted into pots. The seeds were planted in early March.
If interested, click this link to see my photo.
The following is a link to a nice little page describing this variety:

| Well, I might be offering these up for adoption next fall after they have had a growing season to establish themselves. I have noticed that the link I provided and other links state that the lowest zone applicable for these plants is zone 5. I live in zone 4 so I don't know if they will winter over here. I do know that I have tried many zone 5 plant varieties and have never had success. Some varieties would survive a winter or two and then one of our harsh winters would occur and kill them off. It never occurred to me to check the growing range. I figured it's an iris - I have lots of iris so no reason they shouldn't work. I counted yesterday and I have 47 happy little babies. Bummer. I would love to hear if anyone is growing these successfully in a rural area (not in a town or city) in zone 4. Thanks in advance. -Tom |
