Western Wood Lily

Description

When I first moved to this area in 2015, these could be found in great quantity, all along our ditches and side roads.  One area I collect seed from had them in the thousands, for miles and miles.  In the last 10 years the county I live in has stepped up their chemical spraying, along with the utility companies who think it’s perfectly ok to mass kill all of these incredible plants.

These are a challenge to get established, and worth it in my opinion.  Easy to germinate, but does not like to be disturbed, the first couple of years are crucial.

I am trying to get these going in some spots that will not be sprayed by the county.

Western Wood Lily is the floral emblem of Saskatchewan.
