Iris Domestica / Belamcanda Chinensis 150 Seeds, Blackberry Herb or Leopard Lily
Iris Domestica / Belamcanda ChinensisAlso known as: Blackberry Lily, Leopard Lily In 2005, based on molecular DNA sequence evidence, Belamcanda Chinensis, the sole species in the genus Belamcanda, was transferred to the genus Iris and renamed Iris Domestica.This uncommon hardy perennial from China is grown for its unusual black berries that form in clusters when its seedpods split open. They are fascinating to behold in the garden and often brought indoors for arrangements. It has fan shaped, Gladiolus-like leaves that grow up to 3 feet tall. The beautiful 2 inch, leopard spotted flowers are very eye catching with the combination of colors, and can bloom from summer to early fall. The flowers are birthed in the morning and live for one day only, drying up into twisty strands that eventually give way to the heavy pods. When the pods mature, they split open to reveal the seeds that resemble a blackberry but do not taste like them. Caution berries are said to have low toxicity if eaten. Germination of these seeds can take up to 6 weeks.The bright golden root is harvested and dried to make herbal medicine. It has long been used in East Asia to treat throat troubles, asthma, swollen liver and spleen, gonorrhea, malaria, and arrow poisoning. The herb is a principal ingredient in a lung support formula to reduce inflammation (heat) and fight viral infection.Plant prefers moist soil but drought tolerant and full sun to part shade.

These factors are totally out of The Plant Attraction's control and are the buyer's responsibility and risk. Germination recommendations are sent with each order and the buyer is free to research and use their own methods. Floating seeds do not always indicate that the seed is not viable.
