Lycoris rosea Satsuma Hiryu Boophone strap-like leaves in early SeptemberLycoris 'Satsuma Hiryu' is a superb Japanese selection of Lycoris x rosea (Lycoris sprengeri x radiata), that produces 21" tall stalks, starting for us in mid August. The terminal clusters of flowers emerge flaming red with blue tips, and ages toward raspberry. After flowering, the foliage emerges in mid October and grows through the winter, until disappearing in early spring.
