Trumpets and Aurelians bloom in July and have a heavy, perfumed fragrance - a perfect transistion between early-flowering Asiatic lilies and the spicy-scented Oriental lilies. These lily bulbs grow best in areas of moderate winter temperatures. Although they will survive most Midwestern winter with additional protection, buds could be damaged in severe late frosts (down past 20 degrees). Choose Oriental-Trumpet (OT) varieties if this is a concern for you. Most areas do not need to mulch plants for the winter, just provide a well-drained location. Aurelians, like 'Gold Eagle', with their wide, flaring blossoms, do not require as much winter chill to reset the bulb for flowering, and can therefore be grown deep into the southern states with sucess. Hood Canal Series™ Trumpets: In general, the breeding for the Hood Canal Trumpet series began with selections made 15 to 20 years ago. These individual clones were finally selected for propagation 6 to 8 years ago when they first went to Holland to be used in OT breeding as pollen parents. Results from those breeding efforts will not be introduced for another 6 to 10 years. A complete sell out in the spring of 2006, they are all still in very short supply. Staking Trumpet Lilies: Although most of the Trumpet lilies, and many Aurelians do not require staking the first year of planting, as they are typically only one-half to two-thirds their mature height the first summer, you may want to plan for a support later. Position a 12 inch wooden stake next to the bulb when planting, and if support is needed later, it can be replaced with a sturdy 4 foot stake without fear of damage to the bulb. Clone vs. Strain: Clones are genetically identical; flower and bloom habit will not vary from plant to plant. A strain is a group of seedlings produced from similar hybrid crosses, or grown from bulblets taken from "mama" bulbs which are similar in appearance or breeding; the plants vary in appearance or bloom habit. |

| These subtle, one-inch blooms are like a foaming sea of tiny purple and white orchids perched atop wiry black stems in late summer through fall. With attractive, brown-speckled leaves, they thrive in light to medium shade and enjoy the cooler weather of Autumn. Perfect at the base of deciduous trees, woodlandland walks, or in northern exposures, Toad Lilies are wonderfully non-invasive and have reliable bloom year after year. We send mature bareroot divisions in 10-packs, so you will have an "instant" colony in the very first summer. 2 to 3 Feet. Late August to October bloom. Zones 4-9 | |
