Plump and curvaceous new growth in late March, full of promise Common name resurrection lily Family amaryllidaceae Life cycle perennial (Z5-9) Flowers pink Size 18-24" Light sun-part shade Late-summer blooming bulb, producing fragrant pink lily-like flowers on leafless stems after the leaves die back in late spring or early summer. The dying foliage can be messy, so best to plant these where it will be hidden by surrounding plants that bulk up during this time. The large bulbs multiply, and can be divided every several years.

This plant used to grow in our garden, but it slipped away...
