Nursery contributed plant descriptions

One of the easiest lilies to grow, this stalwart bulb is a summer favorite, bringing orange fireworks to your July garden, & increase in size & in number with every passing year. Topping out at 6’ tall, they make majestic cut-flowers, & won’t knock you out with perfume. Rich soil & adequate drainage encourages the best performance. After blooming small bulblets are created at each leaf axel – great for spreading around & sharing with friends! Beautiful with Echinacea ‘Ruby Star’, or Aster ‘September Ruby’.
