Lycoris straminea Gennen Achimenes better-branchedLycoris 'Gennen' is one of the most unique surprise lilies we've ever grown. This dazzling Komoriya hybrid between Lycoris radiata and Lycoris chinensis, produces 23" tall stalks, starting for us in mid August. Each stalk is topped with clusters of heavily ruffled, rich orange blend flowers. You can't walk by a clump without exclaiming, "Wow!" The winter foliage emerges after flowering in early October.
