Amaryllis 'Belladonna Alba'

Naked Lady Lily

Amaryllis belladonna 'Alba,' commonly known as White Naked Lady Lily, reaches 20 to 30 inches tall, with flower stalks extending up to 3 feet. It features fragrant, trumpet-shaped blooms in pure white with buttery yellow throats, rising on tall, leafless stems in late summer to early fall.

Thriving in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil, it is drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and attracts pollinators. Its sword-like gray-green foliage remains year-round, adding texture to the garden. Ideal for borders, containers, and mixed plantings, it pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses and late-season perennials. A superb cut flower, fresh or dried, it is best planted in autumn for a striking seasonal display.
