American Meadows Asiatic Lily

These lilies bring a moody, high-contrast drama to the garden that most perennials simply can't match. They are remarkably low-maintenance for such a striking bloom, though you will need to tuck their roots behind shorter plants to keep them cool and thriving throughout the summer heat.
