Anna EppleText Box: ANNA EPPLE I consider this lily an old faithful pink. It blooms in any size pond and if you have a smaller pond plant it in a smaller pot and it will produce smaller flowers. My experience is that it adapts to its environment. If planted in a larger pond, will produce beautiful large pink blooms in abundance. This lily tolerates the heat and the cold and blooms from mid spring to autumn. Marliac rhizome Leaves are green on top with brownish red underside. Young leaves are reddish in color. Has large leaf spread 6ft plus when grown in a 3 to 5 gallon container with clay type soil. This hardy lily is a perennial plant and will go dormant in the winter, and will winter over in zone 4 and above if planted where the root ball doesn’t freeze. Weather permitting we start shipping in late March to early April and continue until September In optimum conditions will reach full potential of leaf spread (this is not referring to size of the leaves) we are speaking of the area that the leaves will cover. . Information stated is our experience growing this lily on our farm in our climate in Southeast Colorado
