as well as the glorious large flower heads in fall

starting in mid-July (NC)

black-green leaves serve as the perfect foil for a brilliant central pattern of eye-blasting white that does not fade like its parent

Lycoris rosea Hazuki Elegance Chrysogonum In the groundLycoris 'Hazuki Elegance', from the Komoriya breeding program in Japan, is a cross of the spring leaf Lycoris sprengeri and the fall leaf Lycoris radiata. For us, the 22" tall spikes emerge in late July, each topped with up to six rich, rosy pink flowers, with dramatic blue tips to each petal. After flowering, the foliage emerges in mid October and grows all winter.
