Notes

'Hathor' belladonna lily (Amaryllis belladonna 'Hathor') is a bulb for borders, specimen planting, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy or loamy soil. It bears about 16 medium-sized white flowers, tinged with ivory at the base. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. The fragrant blooms attract butterflies and bees.

Pairs well with Paprika yarrow, Thalia daffodil, and Foxtail barley.
