Prairie/Wood Lily (Lilium philadelphicum) 3-pack of pots
Can’t be shipped. (We will have bulbs available for shipping during a fall bulb sale—sign up for our newsletter to be notified)
Prairie Lily is a classic lily of woodland edges and remnant prairies. It’s also known as Wood Lily. Prairie Lily is short and humble with only a few flower stems, but it stands out among other native plants with its traditional lily flowers. It is popular with rabbits and deer, so make sure to keep it protected. Prairie Lily takes 2-4 years to bloom from seed—most of the lilies we sell are 2-3 year old plants but they probably won’t bloom until the following year or two.

Deer like eating lilies, so be sure to protect them. There are organic deer-repellent sprays that seem to work if applied consistently every 2 weeks.
