    Customer photo review of Lily Bulbs - Zelmira

    Beautiful blooming，5 stars recommended. Last week’s heat wave caused the blooms to lose their expected apricot coloration.，but still excellent.

    Customer photo review of Lily Bulbs - Zelmira

    Zelmira lilies opened this week (6.20.26), planted in early March in the SF Bay Area. They are incredibly beautiful! A little shorter than I had expected (maybe 36-40?)-I an hoping they may get taller as the years go by. A bit buried behind shirley poppy buds in this photo, but it gives the sense of size.

    Customer photo review of Lily Bulbs - Zelmira

    Bought 3 bulbs. Initially all three grew in the soil, unfortunately in the middle of growth, 1 plant died, 1 almost died then I moved it into a pot and 1 is still alive in the soil. Plant height is only 37 inches, not in accordance with the description.

    Store owner replied: Hello Jane. Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that only one of your bulbs continued to thrive and that the plants did not reach the height you were expecting! Plant height can vary depending on growing conditions, including sunlight, soil fertility, moisture, and the length of the growing season. If a plant experiences stress during establishment or loses foliage early, it may remain shorter than its mature height. Some varieties also take a little longer to reach their full potential, especially in their first season. We are happy we were able to connect with you and provide a resolution. Thank you for your feedback, and we appreciate the opportunity to help make things right!
