Lycoris rosea Hazuki Elegance Chrysogonum and 20' tall in coolLycoris 'Hazuki Elegance', from the Komoriya breeding program in Japan, is a cross of the spring leaf Lycoris sprengeri and the fall leaf Lycoris radiata. For us, the 22" tall spikes emerge in late July, each topped with up to six rich, rosy pink flowers, with dramatic blue tips to each petal. After flowering, the foliage emerges in mid October and grows all winter.
