Notes

'Beijing Moon' lily (Lilium 'Beijing Moon') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. Its fragrant white blooms are flushed with pink and have a yellow throat. They open on stems about 4 to 5 feet tall in summer. Plant it in groups of 3 to 5 for a bold show and a rich scent.

Pairs well with Karl Rosenfield peony, Autumn Frost hosta, Bobo hydrangea, and Western sword fern.
