Notes

'Eyeliner' lily (Lilium 'Eyeliner') 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. The white petals have a distinctive black edge, and the flowers have a light floral fragrance. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Keep it away from cats, since it is toxic to them.

Pairs well with Bowl of Beauty peony, Minuteman hosta, and Blue fescue.
