Belladonna Lily Mixed – Naked Lady Lily (Amaryllis belladonna L.)

Add beautiful late-summer colour and fragrance to your garden with Belladonna Lily Mixed, a classic Amaryllis belladonna bulb mix producing elegant flowers in shades of soft pink and white.

Also known as Belladonna Lily or Naked Lady Lily, these long-lived bulbs are loved for their tall, leafless flower stems and fragrant trumpet-shaped blooms. They usually flower from January to March, bringing colour to the garden when many spring and early-summer flowering plants have finished.

Belladonna Lilies are well suited to many Australian gardens, especially warm temperate, Mediterranean-style and lower-water landscapes. Once established, they are drought tolerant, low maintenance and can naturalise beautifully when left undisturbed.

Best Growing Conditions

Belladonna Lilies grow best in a sunny position with well-drained soil. They prefer a dry dormancy period and generally perform better when they are not overwatered.

Plant them in a position where they can be left undisturbed. Once settled, they can return year after year and gradually form stronger clumps over time.

After flowering, foliage will appear and help feed the bulb for the following season. Allow the leaves to grow naturally and die back in their own time.

Planting Notes

Plant bulbs with the neck close to the soil surface and avoid planting too deeply. Belladonna Lilies often flower better once established, so newly planted bulbs may take one to two seasons before producing blooms.

For the best long-term result, plant them in a sunny, well-drained location and avoid moving them unnecessarily.

• Garden beds
• Borders
