Sprengeri Lycoris

Sprengeri Lycoris (also called ‘Electric Blue Lycoris,’ ) have large pink, trumpet-shaped flowers with slightly reflexed petals and blue streaking at their tips.   The color can vary from pink tipped with blue to a deeper pink to more blue, changing as they mature.  

Like the Squamigera Lycoris, the foliage will disappear in July, with flowers appearing in late summer to early fall on naked stems.  Plant in full sun in organically rich soil that dries out in summer for best results.  Be sure to mulch in fall.  Please note, it is common for Lycoris to take a year or more after transplanting before blooming.
