Notes
'Sorbonne' lily (Lilium 'Sorbonne') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, 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. The fragrant pink flowers have white edges and open from early to late summer. It sits low on the menu for deer. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Blue star, Duchesse de Nemours peony, and Mock orange.
