Blackberry Lily

Blackberry Lily is a charming and unique perennial that bridges the gap between lily and iris in both appearance and garden performance, featuring flat, iris-like foliage fans topped in summer with open, star-shaped flowers in warm shades of orange with red spots. The common name comes from the fascinating, blackberry-like clusters of shiny black seeds that develop in fall after the flowers fade, creating striking ornamental interest that persists well into winter. Growing 24 to 36 inches tall, Blackberry Lily thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and is notably drought-tolerant once established. Its exotic-looking flowers, fascinating seed pods, and reliable performance in hot, sunny locations make it a delightful and conversation-worthy perennial that adds a tropical flair to summer borders.
