Pardancanda norrisii

Common Name: Candylily

This unique perennial produces flowers with a variety of patterns in a kaleidoscope of color. Since each plant bears different colored blooms, it is best to buy them when they're flowering so you can choose which color you want.

After blooming, shiny black seedpods are formed and are quite beautiful. Green, sword-like foliage.

The genus Pardancanda (Candylily) was developed by crossing Belamcanda chinesis with Pardanthopis dichotoma. The resulting genus combines traits of both parents.
