I want some summer blooming bulbs -- non invasive that doesn't have to be dug
up for winter.
Used to have some orange lillies that I liked but can't remember the name
(they weren't daylillies)
Don't want tulips, etc -- no spring blooming but something or a variety of
summer blooming bulbs for zone 5 Indiana. Any suggestions?
Maybe 2 or 3 varieties that would go well together in a single partly sunny
area?
Look into the Asiatic lilies. They come in a variety of heights and
colors. They don't bloom all summer, but they make a nice show for a
few weeks.

Assuming that the area the OP is in does not have a resident population
of lily beetle...
If the area does have this nasty pest, I doubt they'll last a few days,
let alone weeks!
