Fire Glow Torch Lily Bulbs produce striking, upright flower spikes with a fiery blend of vermillion and yellow hues, resembling glowing torches in the garden. These cylindrical blooms rise above a clump of long, slender, arching green leaves, creating a dramatic visual contrast. Ideal for cottage gardens, wildflower meadows, or as a bold statement in perennial borders, they attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. Their tall, vibrant spikes also work well in mass plantings or as a focal point in mixed flower beds. Hardy and low-maintenance, Fire Glow adds year-round structural interest to any garden space.
