Adam: This is not a definitive suggestion, but a speculation. My L. sanguinea have always been in full sun. I'm not so sure this is good. They are much shallower rooted than other Lycoris, having very small foliage, and the flower shows "burn" damage by noon of the first day it is open. If I had my way about it, I would give it 60% shade all the time, or deciduous shade that was fully shaded by 10 AM during the summer. I mulch mine here in zone 6. Mr. Kelly M.
