Notes
'Big Brother' lily (Lilium 'Big Brother') 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. This oriental-trumpet hybrid has fragrant white blooms with yellow centers, each over a foot across, from early to late summer. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Bischoff Tulleken Lelies B.V. bred it.
Pairs well with Bowl of Beauty peony, Blue fescue, and Little Lime panicle hydrangea.
