Canada Lily is a spectacular wildflower of open moist areas, wet meadows, and bogs of the southeastern mountains. The three inch flowers are yellow-orange, dark spotted, and have widely flared petals. Up to 9 or 10 nodding flowers may be present on the 6 foot stalks of whorled leaves in June and July. This beautiful display comes from the lily bulb which looks like a fleshy white artichoke. Mature bulbs often send out daughter bulbs on thick runners which in time may result in colonies of Canada Lilies. This lily is a little difficult and slow to get started, and it may take years to reach flowering size. The plants do need specific cultural conditions to thrive. Give it good rich, moisture-retentive soil and mostly sun. A little protection from winds (or support) might prevent a stormy blow over. Try it with Summersweet, Bee Balm, or Wild Ageratum. Cat# 1528
