The above list is a partial listing of dwarf varieties we grow (in dire need of updating!), all grow 24 inches or less in height. All of the above named varieties are hardy to -40 Celsius (temps often reach this in winter for a few days or even weeks here). They have survived here without winter protection whatsoever. Our best dwarf varieties come from the breeding efforts of Fred Fellner, a hybridizer located near Vermillion, Alberta.
Often I come across articles in magazines or books recommending planting short varieties in pots - these lilies are suitable for pots due to their short statures, but inexperienced gardeners may not know that these lilies will NOT survive the winter in pots above ground, in zones 1-4 for sure. I wish the writers of these articles would add this to save so many gardeners frustration and disappointment in this respect!
