Hi Louis:
I had never seen Peter Slocum before. Can you tell me more about its habit...I like it, but I'm getting so many of these sunset lilies I'm wondering if its worthwhile and how much it really differs from Perry's Orange Sunset (real orangy to Georgia Peach.

Hi Gary,
I purchased this lily from Perry's Watergardens a few years ago. I don't normally like hardy lilies, but when i saw this one, I made an exception. For the first two years it hardly bloomed, then this year it seemed to come into its own. It has a large spread, this one about 8 feet. its in a pond of its own and that pond is partially shaded. when it was in the main pond with lots of sun, it did not do so well.
Right now it is averaging 2 blooms at a time. i have to fertilize it so it might have more.
I only have three hardies, texas dawn, colorado and perry.
its a nice plant and the blooms seem to not open as wide as other plants.
