lily that looks like liatris?

16 years ago

Got some bulbs off ebay(I know!) last summer. they were supposed to be regale. this year they are about six feet tall and look like white liatris. certainly not regale!.Is it even a lily? I have only planted potted lillies until now so don't have much knowledge of them.

Well that's disappointing. I do think the seeds were either contaminated or completely mislabeled. Try try again. Your kind to offer Martha but I was specifically after l. ligulistylis because it's supposed to be a Monarch magnet and I think I already have the one you mentioned. Thanks anyway.
