It was probably not the best chance to take, but I had to take it anyway. I really wanted to test 'Kushi Maya', the hybrid that came from Hyde, through Faraway Flowers, to see if she was hardy to zone 5. I planted the lily in a raised bed with ample amounts of compost mixed in the soil. Instead of fully preparing it for Winter like I had planned, it ended up having less than 1 cm. of mulch over the top. Seems I fell way behind and really took my chance here
Last year, Spring planted, 'Kushi Maya' was one of the last to come through. Last week, I started to get nervous, I dug around a bit, and didn't see a thing. Then arrived the 80 degree weather on Tuesday, and up she came. Ya-hoo! Hardy to Zone 5! Thought I would share the good news!
