When do Tango Lilies bloom in Zone 5?

Question

I find that my perennial garden is a little flat during the month of June---after the Iris and Peonies are done, before the annuals take off and Day-lilies come into bloom. I am told that Asiatic Lilies should fill the void during that time. I have fallen in love with a Tango Lily <which I understand is a Hybrid Asiatic>. It's name is Dot.com. All the catalogs merely say that it will bloom "June-September". That's a pretty big range! Anyone know when I should expect bloom in Massachusetts, Zone 5? Thank you!

Answer 1

Your Tango should be just about ready to bloom. Do you see the big buds on them? My Asiatic lillies are just now starting to bloom. We are zone 5 too. Aren&#039;t they just beautiful? You should deadhead your daylillies and may get another blooming this year if you do that. Enjoy!
