I purchased several haemanthus - Blood Lily a at the organic show but can't find any info on where to plant and care of same. I have a part shade spot at the edge of a pergola facing north, but don't know it that would be too much sun. Help!
If the part shade is west shade and it only gets a few hours of morning sun, that sounds like a good spot.
Mine recieve some morning sun, high noon dappled shade (in picd) and full west shade.
Hope that helps.
Thank you for the info on the Blood Lily. I still need to find out how tall and wide it will get and when it normally blooms. I want to be sure to put it in the best spot.
The plant usually blooms in late May or early June. The height is around 18"-24" tall and about 12"-18"......It will die to the ground in the Winter, but will come back in the late Spring. Do feed the bulb with a all purpose organic lawn food or one of the fertilizers Rabbit Hill Farms puts out, Something special, Buds-in-bloom Etc......I hope this helps.....
