Often we are asked what lilies bloom early, and what lilies bloom late. The result is this list - please note the bloom periods are as they bloom HERE - at my location in central Alberta, Canada. They may differ at your location, and often the weather plays a huge role as well.
Dry, late spring means shorter, later blooming lilies. An early spring will often move the bloom period up as much as two weeks. A heat wave in early July will push them right into blooming earlier than normal, while drought may push them to bloom later. Every year it's a crap shoot really! This list is NOT all inclusive of everything we have growing, and of course there is always room for errors. You can find photos of all varieties within the photo galleries.
