Lily Garden says zone 5-9 hope they are right.


Sorry they say that because I have brought them through the years thinking that they were hardy and they are not. Only Lucifer has been consistently hardy. Plus it takes them along time to start blooming because they hate to be disturb and until they get really established before they bloom.

That has been my experience. I have not purchased any in 8 yrs because of not having luck with the hardy claims.

I have Lucifer planted in a center round garden area surrounded with grass. I added Japanese Iris, dayliles, and in front to hide every thing when not in bloom a peony bush. I throw some Zinna , Cosmo, and Alyssum seeds in the area in May. I plant the seeds close to the daylilies and peony and the flowers come up between them and it looks like the daylilies and peony are blooming.
