| I keep wanting to try to grow 6ft tall lilies next to a 4ft high fence with a gate. I think they would be nice in the spring and nice when in bloom, but I do have to leave the foliage up to cure after bloom, right? So is it going to look unattractive most of the time?
Has anyone ever tried that? |

| I don't happen to find the foliage unattractive so to me they would be fine. And yes you do need to let the foliage ripen. |

| The foliage can become yellow or brown by the end of the season, but you can cut these parts back when it happens. I agree, the Lilies look decent even after blooming. You will have to choose varieties carefully. In my zone, even Orienpets do not reach 6'. |

| I've tried growing lilies and love them and love the foliage as well. Hope you'll be able to find the best type of lily for you: http://butterfliesbirdsandblooms.com/article/view.php?id=69 |
