Ms Lucy

Have grown 'Miss Lucy' for several years. Absolutely fuss-free, no staking needed :)

I would add that in hot climates like mine, part sun is preferred to full sun, as it saves the bloom longevity.

I should clarify....in the catalog I was looking at double lilies, of various cultivars. Not necessarily Ms. Lucy. BUT with that endorsement from magnolia, I will definitely bookmark Ms. Lucy as THE ONE to try!

Aww, pony, you best not ask me. I'd be the one to tell you to try them all. Faraway Flowers has the most beautiful double oriental lilies. I bought every one she offered and be warned, they are addicting... The second year the flowers are much more fully double. Here's a link to a second year Faraway Flowers double. It was breathtaking.
