    These short lilies are new to my garden this spring. I needed something showy but short for the spot out in the front yard.

    Now that I have been growing these Tridex Lilies for a few years I am more pleased with them than ever. They come back year after year and have even multiplied. The color is an outstanding and attention-getting red, which looks very pretty in my front yard garden bed. Be sure to plant Tridex in the front as it is a nice short lily.
