Showy, long-lasting, tall panicles of graceful flower spikes are packed with deep orange-yellow flowers with burnt orange anthers. Shorter than other foxtail lilies. Shelter from strong winds. Place mulch on top of tubers after planting. Water consistently until after flowering. Deer and rabbit resistant. Very attractive to bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. Striking cut flower. Best in front of a dark background and combined with tall warm-season grasses, ground covers and late-flowering perennials which hide foliage when it dies back.
