I have been finding a few more sprouts here and there. Is it normal for some of these hybrids to be extremely short first year? Many of these are already showing tiny buds in the center of the stem and they are barely 6 inches tall! Others are about 8-12 inches tall, but are still showing buds. This includes Ariadne, Rosepoint Lace and Antique Lace.
I know that first season lilies are often shorter than established lilies, but this is ridiculous! Certainly not even approaching the 4-5 feet tall mentioned in The Lily Garden catalogue. I hope it was not a cultivation error on my part.
