Lilies are 1 of the great garden plants, as they are beloved by gardeners everywhere. Their beauty, diversity, extended season of bloom, graceful stature and overall reliable disposition reflect the fruits of hundreds of years of selective breeding. In Chinese, the word Lily means forever in love. The Lilium family is so large, varied, and complex that it is challenging to describe them in short. Lilies are deer and critter resistant. Plant just about anywhere - in borders, beds, cutting gardens, perennial gardens, pots, and containers. Lilium Forever Susan, which is an Asiatic type lily, produces upward facing flowers. Blooms are 4 in. W to 6 in. W, with unique maroon yellow markings.
