It really depends on the variety of the Lily, %26amp; how hardy the bulb is for your zone. Without knowing the name %26amp; type of lily you have, it's a wait %26amp; see situation.



There are about 100 species and many cultivars in each; extensively bred genus. The origin or native provenance helps determine the appropriate ecological garden habitat.

Good Luck!
Reply:Lillies are extremely hardy. If you mulched about six inches deep, you should see its return. The leaves will, of course,die back in winter but don't give up. My lilies survive a Northern Michigan winter. In the spring, when the ground has warmed, I pull back the mulch, let the sunshine hit the soil and the lilies usually reappear about the middle of May.
Reply:There many species and varieties of lilies, some hardy -some tropical.

The first lily that comes to my mind that has white spotted leaves is a calla lily which isn't very hardy.



Good luck.
