I have both lycoris (golden, pink and red) and amaryllis belladonna growing in the ground in San Antonio, Texas. Some of the lycoris - golden in color was here when I bought the house 25 years ago. Nasty clay, alkaline soil. I have the amaryllis growing in three different places - test patches, if you will. Some stayed green all summer. I have one patch in a raised bed with cactus. I need a few more years of observation to know how well the amaryllis performs. My amaryllis bulbs came from California and Arizona.
