Notes
'Playtime' lily (Lilium 'Playtime') 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. Fragrant white flowers with pink spots and a pink-yellow center streak open from early to late summer on upright stems. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Blue star, Bowl of Beauty peony, and Blue fescue.
