Notes
'White Heaven' trumpet lily (Lilium longiflorum 'White Heaven') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. The fragrant flowers open on erect stems from early to late summer. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit them.
