Category photo (no photo of its own for this entry)
This label unusually combines two distinct plants, Lycoris × haywardii and Clivia miniata, making the exact identity uncertain; the description below covers the first name listed. Lycoris × haywardii is a natural Japanese hybrid between L. radiata var. pumila and L. sprengeri, a bulbous geophyte. Foliage appears in autumn and dies back before the summer flowering, which produces umbels of magenta-pink flowers tipped with blue-purple, with wavy, dissected tepals. The flower stem reaches about 50-60 cm. It requires well-drained soil, light afternoon shade, and dislikes excess moisture during dormancy.
