Lycoris straminea Gennen Achimenes You'll have a few leaves

You'll have a few leaves to rake when they finally drop

each ending with a dense cluster of deliciously fragrant

open shade siting in the garden

until they fill with water at which time they reflex to a 45 degree angle

the 3' flower spikes of Kniphofia rooperi emerge in August and continue through October

Lycoris straminea Gennen Achimenes You'll have a few leavesLycoris 'Gennen' is one of the most unique surprise lilies we've ever grown. This dazzling Komoriya hybrid between Lycoris radiata and Lycoris chinensis, produces 23" tall stalks, starting for us in mid August. Each stalk is topped with clusters of heavily ruffled, rich orange blend flowers. You can't walk by a clump without exclaiming, "Wow!" The winter foliage emerges after flowering in early October.
