I have the dark purple bearded iris. I don't know the name but would love to get some of you pine cone lilies. lmk

i have tall bearded yellow iris . are the lilies hardy in zone 5?

I have mixed tall bearded iris - all colors.

Can you tell me more about your lily?

THanks, JEn

First I live in North West Florida and am unfamiliar with what zone it is. The pine cone lilies are green when they first appear at the base of the plant and when mature they turn a dark reddish color and are about 2 inches in diameter and 2 1/2" in height. They die back in the winter here but come back from the root in the spring. That's about all I know about them. Someone gave me a start years ago and from experience they require very little care.

These sound like Pinecone Ginger, maybe Shampoo Ginger.

Would you like to trade for white, lavender or Batik Iris?

OK, I have heard from lindamarie and will get her lillies in the mail soon. Is anyone else interested? Just email me your address and I will send you mine.

If you don't have any irises I could use some salmon colored glad's. Tempt me..............

lindamarie:
Your Lilies are in the mailbox for Wednesday Pickup. I do hope you enjoy them. When I first planted mine it took two years for them to bloom so don't be discouraged.

redbird4:
I don't know for sure if they are hardy in zone 5. My thought is if Glad are hardy there then the Pinecone Ginger Lille would be also. They die back in the winter just like Glads and come back from the root in spring.

Ok my latest response is from "jennid" and the trade will be completed. I think that everyone who is interested has responded so I am going to close this thread. If there is anyone else that would like to trade then please email me. Thanks.
