Lilies Purple Eye, 7 Bulbs

Lilies are one of the truly great garden plants, as they are beloved by gardeners everywhere. Their beauty, diversity, extended season of bloom, graceful stature and overall reliable disposition reflect the fruits of hundreds of years of selective breeding. In Chinese, the word "Lily" means "forever in love". The lilium family is so large, varied, and complex that it is challenging to describe them in short. Lilies are deer and critter resistant. Plant just about anywhere - borders, beds, cutting gardens, perennial gardens, pots and containers. Purple Eye Lilies are Asiatic-type lilies that are easy to grow, are early bloomers, and produce star-shaped upward facing blooms. However, what sets them apart their dramatic, mauve coloring with a dark purple eye. As an added benefit, Black Eye also attracts butterflies and hummingbirds to the spring garden.
