Botanical Name: Lilium
Height: 3 feet
Description: The crimson color becomes so dark and intense in the center of each petal that it is almost a black band; hence the name, 'Black Tie'.  And for contrast, a crisp white edge.  A lily all dressed up for a garden Gala.  At a moderate height of 3 feet, this lily also makes an excellent patio container.  You don't need a large bed to have a formal garden.
