I, too, have found it to be very vigorous within a short few years in my zone 4 garden. Very bright, hot color.

Very hot colors; combination of orange/yellow and red.

The lily is an extremely prolific multiplier. It is not uncommon that a single lily can create a group of 10 or more in just a few years. Very vigorous.
