Formosa Lily
Lily
Embracing the history of many countries, Liliums are named after a Celtic word that means whiteness, and according to an age-old Christian legend, the first lily “sprang from the tears of Eve as she went from Eden.”
The species we offer are easily grown in just about any garden of Eden with well drained soil and a sunny spot. Excellent as cut flowers, Lilies should be picked as soon as they open. In the fall, you can cut the stems back when the foliage turns brown, which allows the bulbs to store up much-needed nourishment. Lilium formosanum 
With fragrant clusters of up to a dozen large, pure white, trumpet-shaped flowers perched atop towering stems, this magnificent Lily brings a strong presence and spectacular late season bloom to the perennial border. After the blossoms are spent, the dried stalks turn upward and add interest to the
winter garden or in dried bouquets. For a truly dynamic presentation, combine with Rheum,
Salvia confertiflora and your favorite tall growing Nepeta.
Blooms August. Size: 6' high x 2' wide; hardy to zone 5. AVAILABLE SPRING 2012 Lilium formosanum (p-0762)
