Otherwise known as Wild Yellow Lily, Canadian Lily is a large, showy plant that grows 3 to 8 feet tall in full sun and cool, moist to wet soil. Beginning in late June to early July, this perennial bears handsome, yellow to orange-red flowers that open downwards and reveal dark spots on their insides. Butterflies and hummingbirds are attracted to the flowers, while various mammals browse the foliage.
