These carpet border lilies are as versatile as they are colourful. The bulbs provide a monumental number of flowers, enough to create a great, blanketing ground cover that returns and spreads for years. You can also use them in garden borders, alongside walkways, beneath mailboxes and next to foundations. Despite their compact height, these friendly little gems produce large, tropical-looking blooms that emit a full-sized fragrance, so they are wonderful for cutting.
Perhaps no other lilies perform as well in planters or patio pots. Our Carpet Border Lily Mixture looks spectacular growing in a container. The pot's densely packed blooms and plentiful foliage give these vigorous plants a robust appearance. Their portability lets them be enjoyed on your porch, patio or deck!
The exceptional varieties in this Carpet Border Lily™ Collection are short because it's in their DNA—not because they were subjected to chemicals for inhibiting plant growth. The bulbs of these top-notch perennializers require no lifting in fall in order for plants to return each summer with more colourful flowers!
