| The Oriental lilies prefer acid
soil and temperate, moist summers. Provide these by
shade, mulching, or container culture if necessary.
Their enormous flowers, heavenly fragrance, and late
summer bloom time are worth the extra efforts! |

‘Miss Lucy’ slowly unfurls a plethora of fluffy petals, creating a cloud of soft pink, white and green. It takes a full week for each fragrant flower to expand fully, displaying up to fifty petals per flower! The longest-lasting of all the Oriental lilies. Unique! 3 to 4 feet, late July to early August.

a terrific garden plant, too! Its 3 foot stems are
an excellent choice for containers. 3 to 4 feet, August.
