[Photo News Ltd The scarlet Scarborough lily (Vallota purpurea), shown above, and the Belladonna lily (Amaryllis belladonna), which is similar but has pink flowers, are useful in the garden, as they flower in February and March, a time when showy flowers are needed. The plant flowers well in pots in the house, and also makes a gord border plant in places where severe frosts are not experienced. The bulbs should not be more than half buried in soil, and, once established, should not be moved or re-potted more often than every four or five years.
