'Touchstone' lily (Lilium 'Touchstone') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. The large, fragrant flowers are dark purple-red and open from early to late summer. Butterflies and hummingbirds visit them.
