Hi All Lily Lovers,
I am a new gardener and I am planning on starting a lily bed. They are my absolute favorite flower (esp. Orientals-Stargazer). My DH & I think we want to do a mixed lily bed and are considering ordering an All Season Lily Mixture from Breck's, which includes, Asiatic's, Trumpet, Tiger, & Oriental lilies. We may get a few extra Orientals also. And we will have the lilies that Maxine so generously donated to us (yellow with black spots). Though lilies are my favorites, I am not so crazy about their stems and leaves. Is there anything that I can underplant with them to give some prettiness under and around them, preferrably something that will bloom from early spring till frost? I have thought about something like Candy Tuft, Verbena, some kind of white daisy looking flower that maybe only grows max. 12" tall. Any suggestions would be extremely welcome!!!!!
Thank you,
Dana

I like adding taller zinnias for color and height, taking away from the empty stalks and they get going here as annuals, just as my sweet lilies are done. It's the first yaer I have done that, and I couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out. Those zinnias are still going strong.
