Avoid high temperatures and low humidity. Lilies are available in several types and in colors ranging from white and yellow to deep red. While lilies are perennial, not all of them endure Colorado winters. They may be replanted in the spring. The plants remaining in the Garden should be mulched to help them through the winter.
Tuberous begonias come in colors from white through yellow and orange to deep red.
Their flowers are primarily double. They do best in soil with high organic matter content that is kept relatively moist. After frost, dig the root, pack in sawdust, and store under cool but frost-free conditions for replanting in the spring. Go to top of this page. Updated Wednesday, May 02, 2001.
