Lilies

Queens of the perennial border, fabulously showy and surprisingly easy to grow. Good as single specimens or in masses. Great cutflowers, with 3–5 flowers per stem.

Our lily mixes contain 5 varieties. If a variety we list in the description becomes unavailable, we’ll substitute a similarly wonderful variety.

• Asiatic lilies tend to be slightly shorter than Oriental lilies, 24–36" tall on average. Flowers face upward and bloom mid-June to July. Not much fragrance.
• Oriental lilies easily grow 30–48" tall by their second season. Blooms tend to face outward or slightly down and bloom in August. Very fragrant!

Light shade prolongs summer blooms and keeps the bulbs cool. Plant bulbs 6–8" deep, 6" apart, in rich, slightly acid, well-drained soil.
