Another Fragrant Beauty

Another Fragrant Beauty

Mother Nature loves her perfume and she lavishes it on this next beauty! The Oriental Lily group is
intoxicatingly fragrant as well as being gorgeous. Enjoy their blooms in the garden or for use in large vases indoors. Bloom time is later than other lilies so they can be planted with Asiatic lilies that bloom earlier. Asiatic lilies are very hardy and make excellent border and patio pot choices. Planting different types and varieties of lilies ensures a prolonged blooming period and height and color ranges. We currently stock many types of lilies that are either in bud or bursting into color. Hardiness ranges from zone 3-9. Mature heights range from 14” all the way to 48”. I recommend checking out the stunning ‘Casa Blanca’ lily with its enormous pure white perfumed blooms and the ‘Stargazer’ lily with its deep fuchsia colored blooms.

Lilies are exceptional perennials. They are easy to grow in full sun to light shade. Divide clumps in fall every several years. Stems should be staked for tall growing varieties.
