Blackberry Lily is a bold, dependable garden flower with bright orange, red speckled blooms that open through the heat of summer. After flowering, the seed pods split to reveal glossy black seeds that look like little blackberries, adding late season interest to the garden.
This plant has a long history in traditional Chinese medicine and has been grown in gardens for generations for both its beauty and resilience. In Southern gardens, Blackberry Lily thrives with minimal fuss and is a true pollinator magnet, drawing in bees and butterflies throughout its bloom period.
These are heirloom seeds collected from our own garden in West Georgia, selected from healthy, well-established plants that handle heat, humidity, and imperfect soil with ease.
Pollinator-Friendly: Provides nectar for bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, supporting a thriving garden ecosystem.
