'Algarve' lily (Lilium 'Algarve') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. Pink, fragrant blooms open from early to late summer on stems 36 to 48 inches tall. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds visit the flowers. Vletter en Den Haan Beheer B.V. bred it in 1999.
