Lilies are one of the truly great garden plants, and 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 them just about anywhere borders, beds, cutting gardens, perennial gardens, pots and containers. The true name of this variety is Flore Pleno. It most closely resembles a double tiger lily. This mid-summer bloomer produces double blooms and is a heirloom variety, making it an excellent choice for lily collectors and lovers.
