This was my first year with lilies.I have lilies from several sources,including the lily co-op.This is what they did for me.....
DEAD--Casa Blanca,Conneticut King,Stargazer,Pink Perfection, and Red Dutch.
These bulbs are now sending up small shoots from the partially rotted bulbs.
DYING-Nerone and Girisa
LIVING and doing well-All the Tiger lilies,Queen of Spades,Urandi,Zsa-Zsa,Futura,
Landini,Commander in Chief,Royal Sunset,Dolly Madison,Suncrest,Flavo and Conco D'or
Now,these are all grown in filtered shade.I do believe that if grown in full Florida sun,many more would be dead.One interesting note...every one of these bloomed including those now on the "dead"list.I will try Stargazer and Conneticut King one more time.They are awesome.
