Blueberry, I grow this lily in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, which is in growing zone 3. Our winters get very cold here, but they have been very hardy. Although many of my plants have more subtle combinations of leaves, or softer colours, it is also nice to have some bright colours to liven up the garden.

Blueberry, the reflection of dazzling sunlight does make it look tropical, even though it’s growing in a cold climate.

blue would look good in it too. but that is a nice colour for a lily. it’s so tropical like a resort. Dominican Republic would be nice don’t you think?

Amanda, you have to admire their bright, cheery colour. These hardy lilies are still going strong, with no pampering from the gardener. They get no extra watering, and manage to compete with the adjacent raspberries. They bloom at the end of June and beginning of July, when the garden starts heating up, and I have grown more fond of them over the seasons.

First of all: I live in Edmonton too!
Second: We have those lilies too and we get compliments on them though since our garden is full of bright colors but ours don’t shine like that!

Willa, using silver foliage around them is a good idea. It would help the hot colour blend with its neighbours. I have some extra Campanula to go around too.
