Notes
'Zelmira' lily (Lilium 'Zelmira') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. Large, upward facing, fragrant flowers open in early to late summer in dark orange and salmon with yellow edging. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds visit the blooms. Let the foliage die back naturally.
Pairs well with Karl Rosenfield peony, Maltese cross, Carlton daffodil, and Tall fescue.
