This year marks our first flowering of the Mediterranean Alp native, Lilium pomponium. This lily is native to dry, rocky, alkaline soils, and has been right at home in our crevice rock garden. It’s probably good, however, that we didn’t read how difficult it is to grow before we tried it. These are now three years old, grown from seed from the North American Lily Society. So far, our plants are topping out at 2′ tall, although that size should increase as the bulbs grow larger. Hardiness is Zone 6a-8b, guessing.
Your pictures and brief descriptions of the plants shown are always fun to read.
Thank you.
