Hi there! I'd love to make a trade with you. I'd be interested in (2) trades worth of these if we can work it out! I have to offer Coreopsis Grandiflora, Gaillardia Goblin.. or feel free to check my trade offer page. Thanks! ~Wendy

Piping up here. . . Actually, I've been working with xPardancanda norrisii, not Belamcanda chinensis. xPardancanda is a cross of B.c. and Pardanthopsis something. Just as hardy in Zone 4 in my opinion. Pardanthopsis brings in lots of color variation, not just orange and yellow. I also have dwarf, bicolor and unspotted types too. Pardanthopsis is definitely not as cold hardy as Belamcanda, so xPardancanda receives all its hardiness from Belamcanda. Therefore, Belamcanda is definitely hardy here too. Both Parent species are members of the Irid clan, so make sure you don't bury them too much, although I have found that xPardancanda is not as picky as true Iris, but at the same time only somewhat drought tolerant in comparison.

Hi Lisa & Moni! Yes, it was me who took some of your blackberry lillies. I sent you a note that the grasshoppers had munched them down pretty far. Still don't know if they will recover. They did spit out couple of little blooms (so sweet!) but I cut off the flower spike hoping to save the plant. No berries for me this year! Laura

I used to grow this at my old house. This post makes me wonder why I never planted it here. I really did enjoy this plant. Thanks for the reminder!
