Notes

'Belvedere' lily (Lilium 'Belvedere') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil. Its large, up-facing, semi-double blooms are creamy white and fragrant. They open from early to late summer on rigid stems. Plant three or more bulbs together for the best display, and remove seed pods after flowering.

Pairs well with Autumn Frost hosta, Ageratum, and Bobo hydrangea.
