Asiatic lilies don’t tend to live very long in my yard. I’m happy if I get a couple of years out of them before the chipmunks dig up the bulbs or rabbits gnaw on the flower stems until the plants are too weak to regenerate. But ‘Night Flyer’ returned for its 6th year of blooms this year:
This beauty even has black freckles, but it’s hard to see them hiding in those rich, red-black blooms.
‘Night Flyer’ matures to about 4 feet tall with outfacing flowers.
The best part about this cultivar is that the flowers don’t fade at all in the hot sun.
‘Night Flyer’ is hardy in Zones 3-10.
