Amaryllis belladonna
Naked Lady, Belladonna Lily
Description
This South African native has bold, strap-like leaves in clumps 2-3" wide in the fall and winter. Leaves fade away in late spring and summer. Clusters of trumpet-shaped rosy/pink or white flowers blossom on top of bare stalks that are 3' tall in summer. It looks a bit odd with no foliage! It is long lived and drought tolerant.

Water Saving Tip:
Group plants with similar water needs together so that some plants aren't over watered to meet the needs of their more thirsty neighbors.
Never include shrub and lawn areas in the same sprinkler zone.
