Lycoris incarnata Viewing Fish at Jade Fountain Red Foliage Plants hummingbird-attracting flowersLycoris 'Viewing Fish at Jade Fountain' is a fascinating Dr. Lin hybrid from China, most likely a cross of Lycoris sprengeri and Lycoris longituba. The 15" tall stalks, emerge for us in early August, topped with mauvy blue buds that open to six near white flowers with a pale blue wash and pink blush. After flowering, the plant disappears until the foliage emerges in late winter early spring.
