Description
24-36" tall. Amaryllis Belladonna have fragrant light-pink flowers appear in mid-August once their green foliage has died back, giving them the common name of “Naked Ladies.” Natives to South Africa they do well in the southwest and other hot, dry locations. They thrive in well-drained soil, naturalizing readily. They are perfectly suited for container gardens. Mulch over winter to extend cold hardiness. Cold hardy in zones 7-11. Grow as annuals elsewhere.

Great for care-free gardening
"I live in the upper Mojave Desert in an 8b zone, and these plants take care of themselves. I never even have to water them-- our occasional rainfall is all they need. They don't freeze in the winter, don't mind dry climates, and I just let them reseed themselves after they bloom in August. The stalks may look delicate, but they can withstand the very high winds we get here-- staking is unnecessary. What more could a lazy gardener want?"
Photos of having many years
"Border around fence creates nice greenrey through winter and beautiful flowers late summer."
Also known as Surprise Lilly
"These don't behave like normal. They come up in cold weather with emerald green foliage. As the spring comes and weather warms the whole bunch of foliage wilts and completely dies. As the summer ends the bare tan shoots come up like tan sticks. As stems develop flowers bloom out of the tip of the stick. No green leaves at all anywhere. Hence ""naked ladies. "" It is recommended you put a marker where you put the bulbs so they aren't disturbed when nothing shows. I planted in late spring and nothing happened til late fall when the green foliage erupted out of the mulch. so this coming August I expect to see my ladies bloom. If a person doesn't understand all this they may assume their bulbs were duds. I'm glad I am hopelessly optimistic. Watching them come to life was a great reward"
Such a Unique Flower!
"This bulb is so unique! it comes up in the spring with rich, lush Lily like greenery that dies back and then you get a wonderful surprise in mid to late summer of these beautiful, strong, bold, pink Lilies. Multi-Seasonal is how I describe them. Highly recommend them!"
NOT invasive in California, beautiful and drought tolerant
"These bloom in Northern California after most wildflowers have long since dried up. Homesteaders in Sonoma County often planted them, and you can still enjoy the slowly expanding clumps of flowers after more than 100 years, although the homesteads are long gone. Contrary to one other commenter, this plant is not invasive (based on the California Invasive Plant Council's list). Plant them where you can enjoy the fragrance."
Zone 4 hardy!
"My Naked Lady Amaryllis are beautiful and I live in central NH, zone 4. Right now, mid April, the leaves are full and later this summer i expect great flowers! They are in a raised bed in partial shade. I keep it watered in the heat. These are much hardier than advertised, buy them!"
These bulbs may take time to emerge
"Transplanted 10 bulbs in new garden. Took 3 years to establish foliage. After 7 years now have multiple displays. And, yes, they do spread much like a perennial. Lovely in mid August."
Utterly fantastic plant!
"Although I did not get from High Country Gardens, I have to speak out on this wonderful plant! I have grown this plant for years. Believe it or not, my original plant is in SE South Dakota (Zone 5) and growing under a Black Walnut tree. I have moved some of it to NE Iowa (Zone 5). I have the Iowa plants in with my Hosta plants. Clump gets larger every year."
