Zone 5 over winter bulbs
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? |

They don't bloom all summer, but they make a nice show for a few weeks. Priscilla |

If the area does have this nasty pest, I doubt they'll last a few days, let alone weeks! -- Jeff |

I think you are fortunate enough to not have them in the USA. This will give you an idea of what we have to put up with here in the UK:. http://www.gardenforumhorticulture.c...ily-beetle.htm -- Jeff |

Something has a nibble at one or another of my lilies from time to time, but nothing like what it looks like this bug does. Good luck. Priscilla |
