One of my fav lilies. It reproduces itself fairly quickly and is a good bloomer for me. Does okay in a smaller space.

This hardy has small flowers with a glassy red color that produces flowers in abundance. It has small green leaves & requires full. It can handle normal heat in zones 9-10 and is a great addition to any pond especially a tub or small water garden.
