    Jersey Lily----Amaryllis belladonna---- Naked Ladies

    Jersey Lily----Amaryllis belladonna---- Naked Ladies are the same flower, or so I have been told.
    I have loads of them planted in my garden and normally they all flower. This year only about 5% have done so...... Any idea why that may be so. I know that we have had a long cold winter and very little rain for four months but I have never had such a bad crop/flowers in the garden even when the weather has been pretty bad.

      Very difficult as we don't know your plot or what you did last year - some years things just don't do well. They could have died off, have you dug any up to see if the bulbs are still there?

        Thanks zazen999 for your reply. The soil is made up of 85% shale and 15% sand... I have been growing Jersey Lily bulbs in the garden over the last seventeen years. I have bult up the stock over that time, adding say, every three or four years. I have never used compost, artificial or otherwise and I have only irrigated when necessary. ... Strange, never happened before.... You can see pictures of the garden where the lilies are planted. .... My garden...

          They do need a dry summer with some good sunshine to ripen the flowers.
          We find that they do best planted in the gravel against a south facing wall. A lot of people in the UK grow them in pots and the judicious use of a greenhouse enables them to get flowers even in a northern location.

            How was your winter last year? It was extremely harsh around us - a lot of growers lost many, many plants/bulbs/crops.
