Outdoors, they are better suited for warmer regions of North America, where they can be planted in the garden after blooming has finished. As their name suggests, they are typically forced into bloom around Easter, in March or April. Easter lilies (Lilium longifolium) are most commonly grown indoors as a holiday plant.They make wonderful cut flowers that will fill even the largest of rooms with their spicy scents. Orientals are always a striking choice, producing masses of huge white, pink, red, or bi-color blooms. Oriental hybrids bloom in mid- to late summer, just when Asiatic lilies are beginning to fade. They are tall and stately (4 feet), and tend to grow more slowly. “Oriental hybrids”) have that famously intoxicating fragrance. Intense breeding has erased much of the Asiatics’ fragrance, but in spite of their lack of perfume, they are a favorite with floral arrangers. Hybrids come in pure white, pinks, vivid yellows, oranges, and reds heights are from one to six feet. They are the shortest type of lily (about 2 to 3 feet tall) and come in many colors, from pastel to tropical. “Asiatic hybrids”) are the earliest to bloom (usually in May or June), right after peonies. They are also the easiest to grow, as long as they are planted in well-draining soil, not waterlogged. To create a sequence of Lily blooms in your garden, keep in mind that Asiatics generally flower first followed by Orienpets and then Oriental varieties. They come in many beautiful colors, including pink, gold, red, orange, and white.Īt home in both formal and naturalistic settings, most lilies also take readily to containers. Lilies have six plain or strikingly marked tepals (“petals”) and are often trumpet-shaped, sitting atop a tall, erect stem with narrow, long, lance-shaped leaves. With 8,000 or so varieties, lilies parade an endless range of colors, shapes, heights, and bewitching scents. Water lilies aren’t lilies at all, and neither are lily-of-the-valley. They do not grow from bulbs and they are in a different plant genus. We say “true” lilies because there are also plants, such as daylilies, peace lilies, and canna lilies, which have the term “lily” in their common name, but they’re not actually lilies at all. There are a number of popular lily species, including Orientals, Asiatics, Orienpets, and Species types. True lilies belong to the genus Lilium and grow from plump, scaly bulbs.

By carefully blending early, midseason, and late varieties into your garden, you will enjoy their magnificent blooms from spring through first frost. With colorful, star-shaped flowers, lilies add elegance and fragrance to any garden.
