HARDY LILIES, Continued 
While lilies love the sun, they are greatly benefited by suitable ground covers to form 
a protective ground mulch. We recommend the following: 
Achilleas, Ajuga reptans, Betonica grandiflora, many of the Campanula species, the 
Dicentra Formosa which forms a most delightful shade loving ground cover, the Fragaria, 
or trailing strawberries, Helleboris, or Christmas Rose, Incarvillea (Hardy Gloxinias) 
Polemoniums and Potentillas, Ranunculus repens (single and double) Trollius Hybrids and 
many of the Veronica Species. 
Shrubs may also be planted advantageously for ground covers, among the most suitable 
being Abelias, Rhododendrons, and many of the low growing Cotoneasters. 
Do not expect too much from your Lily planting the first year. A lily bulb must 
establish itself and build a strong root system before the top shows the finest growth.
