Notes
Renga lily (Arthropodium cirratum) is a perennial for rock gardens and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes part sun or part shade and dry to average soil. Airy white flowers open in summer on arching stems above broad, blue-green leaves and attract bees and butterflies. Deer tend to browse other plants first. In colder spots, protect it above freezing in winter.
Pairs well with Sedge, Begonia, and Oregon grape.
