I have to agree with Carol about the ‘Lollipops’ Asian lilies. Our mom likes these too. Maybe its a family thing. They are so hardy and keep naturalizing—a perfect plant, especially how Carol placed them in her rain garden.
I made a color error by placing red-orange geraniums in a container nestled among the ‘Lollipops.’ Omigod! That is a frightening color combination. I actually forgot about the lily colors while I watched the tough green stems of the lilies emerge this spring. I was so excited about using the color ‘red’ this year that I filled my turquoise containers with orangey-red (Coral Sunset) geraniums, coral verbena and bright green basil. When the ‘Lollipops’ opened, I was horrified! Sure brings you back down to earth. Mother Nature would never do something that ugly.
