Martagon and Asiatic Lilies

University of Saskatchewan’s 100th Anniversary Lily: In 2002, the University of Saskatchewan received a very special centenary gift — a lily that bears both its name and colours. Donna Hay, Plant Sciences research technician and part-time lily breeder, presented the institution with Lilium 'University of Saskatchewan'. This Asiatic lily, bred for its white, gold and green colours, is registered with The Royal Horticultural Society in London, England. The U of S lily is a hardy plant with up-facing flowers, and grows about two-and-a-half feet tall. It blooms in July and is white with a deep blush of gold at the mid-petal. The nectary at the base of the petals is green. ($10 per bulb)
