Notes
'Giraffe' lily (Lilium 'Giraffe') is a perennial 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. It blooms from early to late summer and has a fragrant scent. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the flowers. It grows 47 to 59 inches tall, so it works well at the back of a bed.
Pairs well with Blue Fortune Bill Williams Mountain giant hyssop, Rosemary, and Calendula.
