Inexperienced needs suggestions.

A total redo of a 60 X 40 fussy perennial garden to a more sedate Japanese style with Japanese Maples, shrubs, and conifers, grasses, ect. is nearly complete. ( Boy was that hard tossing out rudbeckia, coneflower, trandescantia, foxglove, yarrows, poppies, iris, daisies - the list is long.) The only old perennials remaining are some lillies planted over ten years ago. They have been stalwart performers - 3 to 4 ft upward facing, yellow, red and white. I am looking for similar type lillies in the pink and cream color range. Any ideas?

Sure, check out BuggyCrazy, Lilly Nook, and The Lily Garden. :) I'm sure you'll find something you can't live without... I usually do.. ;)

Lily Garden also has indices by color and bloom time.

Moby, who else do you buy from?

Wow, guys teriffic resources. Now if I can just make a couple of choices. Nearly impossible! Is it safe to order bulbs for fall planting and assume they were freshly dug, not stored?

I know it is with Buggy and I would think it is with the other folks.

Yes, these sources have freshly dug bulbs in the Fall.

Oh yeah, don't forget Faraway Flowers!!!

My, It looks like Canada is a major grower of quality bulbs. With so many to choose from I'm gonna have a hard time picking the perfect variety of pink and of cream. Any favorites out there in the asiatics? Are there any lilly society awards?


The Faraway Flowers site doesn't seem to be working.

Faraway Flowers probably won't open up till later this fall, but they do have some amazing lilies when they do open. They have a lot of stuff you won't necessarily find elsewhere.

Do, check out BuggyCrazy's site too, it opens in August.... She sends the largest bulbs of anyone. Her stuff is amazing..
