Belladonna Lily, Fred Meyer Whites - Exclusive More than 10 years ago a well known southern California plant breeder set out to develop some new belladonna varieties, ones that were extra drought resistant and super easy care. Sadly, the man, Fred Meyers, died before this project was completed and the unnamed varieties were left to fend for themselves in a field in the California desert. This fall, we arranged with the Meyers family to harvest some of these belladonna bulbs and offer them for sale for the first time ever. Like somewhat reluctant heroes an Indiana Jones adventure, we braved jeep rides along skinny cliff trails (pleeeease don't let that wheel slip), hillsides thick with thorny cactus, rattlesnakes (yes, we're serious) and baking heat to reach the field where these grow. For the last 4 years nobody has tended these at all - no water, no weeding, no removal of spent foliage and no dividing - nothing. So if you're looking for tough, beautiful and exclusive, you've found it. Large 2 1/2" diameter bulbs are sold in trios. It is with great pleasure that we are able to offer these. Highlights & Hints - One bulb produces a big bouquet of fragrant flowers. - Provides wonderful color when most flowers have stopped blooming. - Thrive in hot, dry conditions. - Deer resistant.
