How to Grow Great Lilies - Saturday, March 29th, 2014 9:30-11:30am
Woody Imberman, president of the Wisconsin/Illinois Lily Society, touts his garden as "the largest Chicagoland garden devoted almost solely to a wide variety of true lilies." With over 200 plants sharing the common name of lily, not all are true lilies.
A true lily comes from a bulb, whereas a daylily comes from a root. Unlike a daylily, which blooms for just one day, true lilies stay in bloom for one to two weeks and can be planted to bloom from early June till late August.
Members - Free. Non-Members - Included in Daily Admission Fee.
