“Hello Yellow”

Belamcanda chinensis (aka Dwarf Blackberry Lily and “Hello Yellow”) came to us from Japan. This relative of the iris has foliage that resembles a dwarf glad—until it is topped in July with 20-inch tall spikes of 1-inch around, buttery yellow flowers, followed by blackberry-like seed pods. It’s a wonderful plant for a flower border or for mass plantings to capture stares.
