I had breakfast guests coming so nipped to the garden to pick this quick bouquet of lilies, dill, and poppies. It took less than five minutes from start to finish! The old pitcher I found at a thrift store for just a couple of bucks. Are your lilies and poppies blooming?

When the foxtail lilies are blooming, visitors want to know what they are and how to grow them. Foxtail lilies are a summer blooming bulb that are planted in the spring. They are listed as zone 5, but have survived three winters in my zone 4 garden (with last winter being a record cold winter). These are also know by the name Desert Candles.
Growing information:
Hardy zone 5- 8
Bloom time – early summer
Height – 3 to 5 feet
Full sun and well drained soil required
