Call these Naked Ladies, Surprise Lilies, Magic Lilies, or Resurrection Lilies. You will be shocked in August when these large trumpet blooms open for you. My original stock came from an old turn-of-the-century home in Northeast Louisiana. The home was being renovated, but the bulbs were thriving in the yard. These pink/lilac-colored blooms deserve a place in every garden in zones 5b-8a.

Scott Ogden in his book Garden Bulbs for the South says of the Lycoris squamigera "Naked Lady" that one "rarely finds a more beautiful flower possessed of such an undemanding disposition. It's nearly ideal for gardens in the middle and upper South, and even into the cold climates of the Midwest."

How they bloom: Lycoris squamigera "Naked Lady" bulbs bloom differently than most flowers. Now is a perfect time to plant these bulbs. These bulbs need 2-3 years after they are planted before presenting blooms. Your bulbs are developing a strong root system right now to support future foliage and eventually blooms. You might see the foliage this February-April, but don't be concerned if you don't. Most people still expect to see something growing during the summer months. You won't see anything. These bulbs are dormant in the summer. After 2-3 years, the flowers suddenly appear with the first later summer and early fall rains. One day there is nothing growing and then suddenly you have a surprise, a fully blooming flower! This bulb acts very similarly to red spider lilies, yellow spider lilies, and schoolhouse lilies. Simply put, they bloom in the fall and then have foliage for the winter.

Foliage: Let's talk foliage for a moment. The "Naked Lady" foliage is flat, wide and stout. It will shoot up like a fountain. The foliage will look great by itself in the spring or with mixed in with spring blooms. We know that we all want to see the beautiful unusual blooms in the late summer, but the foliage is very important. The foliage is what allows the bulb to grow and multiply. Many people get very concerned if they don't see the bloom the first year that they plant it and believe that maybe the bulb isn't any good. A good rule for perennial bulbs....if the bulb is firm when you plant it, it is healthy and will eventually come up. The foliage is what you watch for since the bulbs aren't going to bloom for 2-3 years. The foliage will grow during the winter months so be sure to plant the bulbs where they will receive at least 6+ hours of winter sun. Even if the foliage gets hit by a winter cold snap, it will have taken in nutrients for months! Always allow the foliage to die down naturally and don't cut it off. If you cut it, you are killing the bulb. Once the foliage is completely dead which is usually around the beginning of May, this area can be mowed. The foliage is untidy when dying back so consider planting it in a "natural" area or plant with other bulbs that will produce lovely foliage to help cover it up. Remember, it takes a lot of energy for the bulb to push that bloom up out of the ground and open wide. The more time the bulbs can take in nutrients, the more energy they will have for that fall bloom.

Just a thought...if it looks like you are going to have a cold snap and want to protect your foliage, you might consider covering it with a bucket and then removing the bucket once the daytime temperatures warm up.

Blooms: You will need patience with this bloom, but it is worth the wait. They are prone to skip their first 2-3 years, but the show it produces in late summer is spectacular. Each bulb sends up a stem that holds several blooms. The flowers are pale pink to almost lilac. The light color and slightly reflexed petals give the blooms a romantic but traditional look. However, once established in your garden they are there for a lifetime! They usually bloom in late July - early August. These blooms need water to bloom. They respond to the late summer rains well, but if there is a hard drought, be sure to begin watering the area around the beginning of July to help the bulbs have enough energy to bloom. A naked stalk will rise quickly and a few days later lilac/light pink blooms will appear.

Sun Requirements: The single most important thing about landscaping with Lycoris is the sun. They need at least 6+hours of WINTER sun. That means about 6-8 hours of sunlight during the winter months - they do great with full winter sun. If you look at the photo above, you will see that they are in the shade of the trees. You can be sure that most, if not all, of those trees, will lose their leaves in the winter when the greenery needs sunlight. Lycoris put on their foliage during the winter (February - April) and that is when it takes in the nutrients it needs to produce the blooms in September. The winter foliage soaks up sun energy during winter as it prepares for summer dormancy. The foliage normally completely dies down around May.

Plant: Don't plant the bulb too deep. You are going to plant the bulb even with the top of the soil. You can plant the bulbs close together (2-4 inches apart) to make the blooms look more natural or spread the bulbs out and allow 6-8 inches in between each bulb. The area will look sparse the first couple of years that the blooms come up, but the bulbs will multiply and fill in several years after that.

Lycoris bulbs really do well in any type of soil except full clay. They thrive in soil that has plenty of organic material mixed in but they do not require fertilizer. Newly planted bulbs would actually be harmed by exposure to fertilizer, so if you are going to apply nutrients, limit the application to established plants when the plants are producing their green leafy foliage during the winter. After planting the bulbs, water the soil thoroughly. Damp soil is ok, as long as the bulbs are in a spot where they will receive plenty of winter sun and the foliage is allowed to die down naturally in the spring. Standing water is not good. Once the summer season starts these bulbs will do best in soil that dries out a bit, as this facilitates its entry into the dormant stage when the leaves die back. This period is followed by its blooming season when it will reward daily watering with long-lasting blooms. Too much moisture in the soil will lead to the bulbs rotting.

Bulbs to use with Lycoris: There are an assortment of perennial flower bulbs that go well with Lycoris blooms. When the bloom appears in late July or August, it will look great with rain lilies. The foliage makes a great backdrop for spring bloomers like Narcissus Jonquils, campernelles, twin sisters, and snowflakes.

Not ultra dense, but very soft and cozy
Color: 03 - Beige, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
This is a really nice throw. It’s very soft and cozy, and for the price, I think it’s a great value. I like the sewn-in label too. It gives it a slightly more high-end look compared to the more generic fuzzy blankets you see everywhere now. The texture is a little different from some faux fur blankets I’ve had. It’s not that super dense, ultra-short type where you can’t really see the fibers. This one has a bit more length to the pile, so you can see the strands more. It’s more like a thicker but slightly airy kind of softness, and it’s really nice on my skin. It’s really, really cozy to snuggle up with. 👋 One thing I always recommend with blankets like this—no matter the brand—is do not put it in the dryer. Even on low, the heat and tumbling will start to change the texture. If you want it to stay as soft as it is when you first get it, wash it gently and let it air dry. The reason is all faux fur is made from very fine synthetic fibers (basically plastic). Even low heat and the tumbling action can cause those fibers to start to stiffen, flatten, or slightly melt together over time. Once that happens, it loses that soft, fluffy texture and you can’t really get it back. I think this would make a great gift, and it’s hard to find a faux fur blanket this soft at this price point. Five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Super soft! Love this!

This GentleSoft Luxury Faux Fur Throw Blanket is a cozy and stylish addition to any living space. The faux fur texture feels incredibly soft and plush, giving it a luxurious feel that’s perfect for curling up on the couch, adding extra warmth to a bed, or simply elevating room décor. The beige color is neutral and elegant, blending easily with a variety of home styles. Despite its fluffy, shaggy appearance, it feels lightweight while still providing excellent warmth and comfort. The 50x60-inch size is ideal for personal use while relaxing, reading, or watching TV. It also makes a thoughtful gift thanks to its soft feel and attractive presentation. Overall, this blanket offers a great mix of comfort, warmth, and decorative appeal at a very nice value. My suggestion is to not dry it.

This is one of the softest most luxurious blankets I have ever found!! Absolutely beyond compare. Lovely and comfy, it’s beyond a steal of a deal. It doesn’t fall apart or tear, and it holds form after wash instead of shrinking. I need more!!

Soft, well made
Color: 02 - Pink, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
Bedsure GentleSoft Luxury Faux Fur Pink Throw Blanket for Couch, Soft Fuzzy Fluffy Shaggy Gifts Blanket for Women Mothers Day, Warm Cozy Plush Fleece Throw for Room Decor, 50x60 Inches Our household never seems to have enough blankets or throws, so I decided to try this one for one of my kiddos. Our family is strongly ASD, so I was hoping this would be a winner. The outer shell has a faux fur that looks glittery. It is soft, but also has a weird coating that went hope goes away with washing. The inner side is very soft. It's comfortable to use, and for us, did not trigger any sensory issues. It's got a decent weight for a throw, but isn't obnoxious about it. This throw is enough to keep warm without overheating. At the current price of $39.99, it seems like a good deal. I did remove 1 star for the weird coating, but will update as appropriate.
