SHOP EARLY! The early bird gets the bulb...

This year, in order to offer a wide range of bulbs at our Fall Sale, there are many lilies with less than 10 bulbs available, so do your research and shop early.

Sale is Saturday, October 17 at Bachman's on Lyndale in Minneapolis. NSLS members shop at 9:15 a.m. and the general public at 10:00 a.m.

Most lilies in the sale are pictured on our website (all photos that we have permission to use on the website)

THE CONSTITUTION! Special bulb to commemorate the 25-th Anniversary of our country. Available at the upcoming North Star Lily Society Fall Bulb Sale.

Reminder about the NSLS fall bulb sale Saturday, October 17, 2026, opening at 9:15 AM for members and 10:00 AM for Non-members at the Heritage Room in Bachmans, 60th and Lyndale.

Look for the bulb called ‘The Constitution’ to commemorate the 250th anniversary of our country, or the new Asiatic ‘Nightfall’. Are you looking for red or dark pink OT’s – look no further than ‘El Capitan’, ‘Stronglove’ or ‘Red Desire’. My favorite trumpets ‘Anastasia’ and ‘Ice Follies’ are available this year. In the species section, check out the relationship between Lilium ‘miquelianum’ and ‘tsingtauense’ on the trivia page of the NALS website, https://lilies.org/trivia.html . Are you looking for white martagons- don’t miss the two new Hugh Skinner bulbs on the auction table. There are 12 auction bulbs available this year including Forrest Peiper’s ‘Jenn’. Record your bid by auction closing at 11 AM on Saturday.
