A more restrained Peruvian Lily for those who think they can be a bit too loud or vigorous :) Butterscotch-yellow flowers in spring and summer have a tinge of pink and throats brushed with burgundy. One of the best and most long-lasting cut flowers. Minimum temperature: 0°F

If you've tried Peruvian lilies and found them too...let's say vigorous, this one is not only lovely with butterscotch flowers, the throats hatched with dark brown, it is restrained as well. Forms a clump 18” wide and as tall, blooming from June until cold weather in full sun with lots of organic fertilizer and summer water. Dies back in winter, returning in spring. Cold hardy to 0 °F , USDA zone 7. Flowers last longer if pulled rather than cut.
