This beautiful surprise lily is doing well in partial shade in Nashville, TN (Zone 6).

New foliage sprouting on Feb 14th in Raleigh, NC. Note rounded leaf tips. Foliage will persist until May when it dies back - blooms appear in August or September.

great for naturalizing or adding a unique 'surprise' accent to a garden

It took some doing to accurately capture the faint blue tips.

The first week of August and this is the first of my Naked Ladies to bloom. Lasted about 2 weeks!

Surprise lily grows in full sun or deep shade, in practically barren soil with no fertilizer or water beyond rain, here in OK.

As one pulls into our driveway, a row of Surprise Lilies greet you in late summer. 2007

Just when you think it isn't going to bloom, a bud pokes out of the ground in August

Flanked here by hymenocallis 'Tropical Giant' also in bloom
