    Honey Bee is the most common of the Tango lilies growing in my garden and makes a stunning display en mass in my June garden. I find the speckled effect of all the Tango lilies combined with the large blooms really very striking. I bought three colors of Tango lilies, yellow, orange and red but now after four years I have more of the yellow than of the other colors. Therefore, I figure Honey Bee is a stong grower and good multiplier.
