Hi everyone, I am digging and dividing some lilies from my beds and am sending Dell Sherk, our wonderful BX guy, a couple dozen small Lilium bulbs from the Golden Splendor Group. My A-Z has this to say about this group: Div VI(a) (trumpet-shaped hybrid), vigorous, strong stems, blooms mid-season, hardiness zone 5-7, 4-6 ft tall, large outward-facing shallow trumpets, scented. I have had my bulbs since '99 and the original three have now become about 30 bulbs. Most of the bulbs are quite small but will bloom in a year or two. This is a really nice lily, nice scent, strong grower, beautiful and striking golden yellow (not orangy-yellow) - a nice pure color - more yellow than gold here. Seems to hold its color well in sun and lasts pretty well. If I remember correctly the flower has nice thick substance for a trumpet. Plant the bulbs deeply enough so that the stem, when it emerges from the bulb, has enough dirt to hold the stem roots - perhaps at least 3 inches of soil over the top of the bulb. Lilies like soft dirt around and under the bulb (although mine have been growing in some pretty hard soil - but with each redigging of the bed the soil improves) so you might amend the planting holes and make sure they are big holes because the roots will eventually grow out 6 inches away from the bottom of the bulb. Plant in full sun, you know how trumpets are - they tend to bend toward the sun especially when they are still young. I'm sure you will like this plant. In two or three years you will have a nice clump of them. Enjoy! Cathy Craig President PBS Maritime zone 9b
