Lilies are stand alone stars, look good against a fence or at back of a flower border.
They are greedy feeders to do their best, but are resilient to most soils. They die down to corms in the winter then come to life in the Spring and flower about Christmas time.
Update 3rd Jan. The 2nd bud has come out . Next year it will be bigger and better once in the fround.

Mitre 10 Masterton staff misinterpreted the promotion’s terms & conditions, as can be seen in the screenshot of the email I received in response to my query after my partner redeemed a $200 Mitre 10 Gift Card and was told she was ineligible for two $20 Store Cards

I originally bought my Daylilies from a Daylily specialist nursery and they arrived bare rooted.That is how I am selling them as they dont do overly well in pots.
The leaves of Daylilies are long and slender, a bit like Agapanthus in appearance but softer.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
