Lilies have been cultivated in gardens and acclaimed in literature for centuries. Shakespeare, Joubert and Tennyson make reference to this symbol of purity, chastity and pallor. In the Bible it is mentioned more often than the Rose and, in fact, was adopted by the church as the Virgin Mary's flower.
Until 1925 or so, the various original species made up the preponderance of Lilies sold. At that point, hybridizers learned how to produce hybrid Lilies that were healthier, hardier and more ornamentally desirable. While easier to grow, today's hybrids still require a green thumb of substantial experience. The growers we've selected are among the few producers of Lilies who can consistently meet our standards for perfection.
