Notes

'Tiny Bee' lily (Lilium 'Tiny Bee') is a bulb for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. Deer tend to browse other plants first. This compact dwarf grows only 1 foot tall, so it suits the front of a bed. Yellow, fragrant flowers open from early to late summer and attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.

Pairs well with Blue star, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and Little Lime panicle hydrangea.
