The result of 40 years' work by three generations of plant breeders, Park's Candy Lily is a completely unique perennial, as brightly colored as a rainbow and as variously colored and marked as a bag of marbles! When you're looking for something different and easy to grow, consider this hard-to-find, one-of-a-kind beauty!
The Iris-like plants are 3 feet tall and flower freely from midsummer 'til fall, producing masses of bright 2-inch blooms in every color and pattern. Superbly hardy, they laugh at heat and drought, and will bloom the first year in areas with long growing seasons! Nothing could be more beautiful than a tall stand of these blooms in every shade of yellow, blue, red, purple, pink, white, and orange--many with tiger stripes, polka dots, splashes of a second color, or other distinctive accents!
Derived by crossing Pardanthopsis dichotoma (which used to be classified as Iris dichotoma) and Belamcanda chinensis (better known as Blackberry Lily), the resulting hybrids were selected and reselected countless times to produce just the right combination of color, form, and garden performance. The selection was performed by our own Dr. Jim Alston here in South Carolina, so you know the resultant plants perform well in hot, humid conditions! But they're also hardy all the way to Ohio, and are not fussy at all about soil. They'll even bloom the first year in climates with a long growing season!
You'll love these distinctive, ultra-colorful perennials. Try something new this season! Zones 5-10. Pkt is 20 seeds.
A good flower for cutting fresh and bringing indoors, it also serves as an interesting accent in the border. Plants are clump forming and upright from 2-4 feet tall. The tall, linear foliage grows directly from the rhizomatous roots. The 3-4 inch, 6-petaled flowers appear from mid-summer through mid-fall and come in mixed colors
Superior Germination Through Superior Science
First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.

Hand Packed By Experienced Technicians
Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
