Notes
'Forever Susan' lily (Lilium 'Forever Susan') 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 to moist soil of most types. The upright stems carry fragrant purple and orange blooms in early to late summer. It sits low on the menu for deer. This lily is toxic to cats, so plant it where cats cannot nibble.
Pairs well with David garden phlox, Blue fescue, and Coral Charm peony.
