Asiatic Lily

Lilium × hybridum (Asiatic)

outdoor

Asiatic lilies are hybrid bulbs producing tall stems with numerous brightly colored, unscented flowers in shades of red, orange, yellow, pink, and white, often with spotted throats. These vigorous growers bloom mid-summer and are excellent for cutting, borders, and containers. They are among the easiest lilies to grow and most disease-resistant.
