The first Asian lily to reach American gardens, this sturdy, salmony orange turk's-cap lily is an easy cottage-garden classic. It's a pass-along plant throughout the South, but it thrives just as well at abandoned farmsteads in icy Minnesota. Tiny stem bulblets fall and root themselves for easy increase. Virus-free bulbs.
