Blackberry Lily, also known as the belamcanda chinensis, are from the Iris family and have clusters of black fruit that grow after flowering. The fruit is very similar to that of blackberries and the flowers are shaped like stars with six petals each. They measure about 2 inches across. The lilies are pale orange or yellow in color on the "flabellata" and the petals are spotted. This is why they are sometimes quite often referred to as the Leopard Flower.

Using Blackberry Lily In Your Landscape
The plant is a perennial that is normally grown for its unique black berries that form in clusters when its seedpods slip open. This usually occurs in the fall. They are quite fascinating and make great arrangements for your home. The plant has an orange flower color and has a chartreuse/gold foliage. The plant provides a very colorful fall foliage, blooms in the summer and is a winter interest. It is very tolerant of drought conditions, does quite well in containers, and is very low maintenance.
Planting Blackberry Lily
Blackberry Lily are actually grown from bulbs, or tubers, and these bulbs can be planted anytime of the year, as long as the ground is not frozen. It is best to plant these gorgeous lilies in a sunny or lightly shaded area with well-draining soil for the best results. It's also best to keep the soil moist. The flowers of the plant last one day, but they are continually blooming during their bloom season. A dry cluster of black fruits will form after the blooms are gone. The blooms will close at night in a twisting form and their foliage is similar to that of the Iris plant, and can reach up to three feet tall.
