Candy Lily (Pardancanda norrisii): Iris-Like Blooms in a Rainbow of Colors

Candy lily, a hybrid between blackberry lily (Belamcanda chinensis) and Pardanthopsis dichotoma, grows to 36″ with iris-like foliage and larger, more colorful flowers—blues, purples, yellows, reds, oranges, bi-colors, with or without dark spots. Each bloom lasts one day, but succession extends the show for weeks.

Culture

• Full sun to part shade.
• Average to rich, well-drained soil.
• Divide in spring or late summer.
• Self-sows readily.
• Watch for iris borers (treat as for iris).

A unique, low-maintenance perennial for cottage gardens and mixed borders.
