Notes
'Fata Morgana' lily (Lilium 'Fata Morgana') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. Golden yellow double blooms open in early to late summer with dark freckles near the center. The fragrant flowers draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Stella de Oro daylily, Blue fescue, and Sarah Bernhardt peony.
