Notes
'Major' st. bernard's lily (Anthericum liliago 'Major') is a perennial for borders and rock gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil. It forms a slow-growing clump, so give it time to fill in. Bees visit its flowers, which open in early to late spring and again in early to late summer. The clumping habit keeps the plant tidy in a border.
Pairs well with Perennial candytuft, Hummelo betony, and Blue grama.
