Text Box: GYPSY First day white flower is streaked with red and completely darkens to red by last day. Good bloomer. I think this is one of the finest of the red lilies.   If you like the deep intense red color this is the lily for you.  It performs exceptionally well here in Colorado during mid-spring to late summer.  The blooms are large and very showy; you can spot the richness of its color from far off.  The blooms will get larger in zone 7 and 8. It has excellent leaf spread and then once mature, the leaves are intense green and this makes the Gypsy bloom stand out even more.  Medium to large leaf spread 4-6ft+ when planted in 3-5 gallon or larger container using clay type soil. This hardy lily is a perennial plant and will go dormant in the winter, and will winter over in zone 4 and above if planted where the root ball doesn’t freeze. Weather permitting we start shipping in late March to early April and continue until September In optimum conditions will reach full potential of leaf spread (this is not referring to size of the leaves) we are speaking of the area that the leaves will cover Information stated is our experience growing this lily on our farm in our climate in Southeast Colorado Gypsy
