Romance Foxtail Lily

Fox Tail Lily, also known as Desert Candles has wispy towering spikes that add a dramatic vertical allure to the early summer garden. Long-lasting candle-like spires of hundreds of salmon-pink florets with yellow-orange stamens open progressively from the bottom to the top and soar over the low-growing strappy leaves. The foliage dies back during the blooming period, making Fox Tail lily a great companion planted among perennials or grasses. Plant in groups of 3 to 5 for the greatest appeal.
