Notes
'Purple Prince' lily (Lilium 'Purple Prince') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and pollinator 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. Tall upright stems reach 72 to 96 inches, and the fragrant purple blooms open from early to late summer and attract butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds. Deer rarely make it their first choice. This lily is toxic to cats.
Pairs well with Indian grass, Blue star, and Little Lime panicle hydrangea.
