Lilium Asiatic mix

This assortment of Asitic lilies is a mix of 6 bulbs, varying depending on the batches, in a blend of orange, red, pink, and yellow. These long-lasting bulbs are easy to grow in light, non-chalky soil. Once well established, they faithfully bloom every summer, adding a touch of exoticism and colour to flower beds, pots, or even large rockeries. Elegant and graceful Asiatic lilies make excellent cut flowers.

The genus Lilium belongs to the lily family, its representatives are deciduous bulbs, with a narrow and very vertical tufted habit from spring onwards. They descend from various species native to Asia Minor and Central Asia. Each batch includes 6 lily bulbs among the following varieties: bright orange single flowers, orange single flowers, red single flowers with yellow hearts, yellow single flowers, dark red single flowers, bright pink single flowers, golden yellow single flowers, and double and fringed lemon yellow flowers. Each plant is 70 to 80 cm high when in bloom, and the clump spreads indefinitely over time, with the bulbs producing bulblets through vegetative multiplication. Flowering takes place between late June and August. Along the sturdy stems, 5 to 8 flowers measuring on average 10 cm in diameter open on a mature plant. Each flower is composed of 6 fleshy, shiny-textured petals, with variable colours depending on the varieties. The stems are sturdy and covered with alternate, dark green, narrow, and shiny leaves. The above-ground vegetation dries up and disappears in late autumn, while the bulb enters a dormant state.

These Asiatic lilies thrive year after year in neutral, humus-bearing, well-drained, and light soil that remains moist in summer. You can grow them with perennial plants, as they appreciate having their base slightly shaded. Lilies go well with daylilies, bellflowers, delphiniums, alstroemerias... They are perfect for flower beds, thrive in large borders, and pots, and are good cut flowers.
