Pink Calla lilies spilling out of a strawberry pitcher …………… does summertime get any better than this?

When the foxtail lilies are blooming, visitors want to know what they are and how to grow them. Foxtail lilies are a summer blooming bulb that are planted in the spring. They are listed as zone 5, but have survived three winters in my zone 4 garden (with last winter being a record cold winter). These are also know by the name Desert Candles.

Growing information:

Hardy zone 5- 8

Bloom time - early summer

Height - 3 to 5 feet

Full sun and well drained soil required
