Lilies
 Photo by Gardens By Design |
Lilies have been around forever and there is a good reason. They are superb plants, faithful, produce for many years, multiply with good manners and offer a myriad of colors, sizes and forms. We offer mainly two types, Asiatic Hybrids and L.A. Hybrids, a cross between Longiflorum and Asiatic.
Lilies are bulbs that need to be planted no less than 6 inches deep, in well drained soils, and in a place where they won’t be disturbed for years. Compost, bulb food or bone meal can be added to the soil when planting and a top coating of compost or composted steer manure can be added every spring but not absolutely necessary. Or you can push a couple of sticks of chalk in beside the bulbs each spring for a ‘timed release’ feed. If you are bothered by varmints, a few pieces of sharp gravel in the hole will deter voles. This is one plant that I do cut back in the fall after the foliage turns brown to feed the bulbs.
Pollen stains on your clothing when handling lilies can be a problem. Do not brush the pollen away with your hands. The oil in your hands will set the stains. Let the pollen dry then brush it away with a dry soft brush or gently dab the stain with adhesive tape. Exposure to sunlight may fade the stain or commercial fabric stain remover is a last resort. There are new lilies without pollen. They have stamens but no pollen.

Lilium 'Blackout' (Asiatic Lily) | |
| Extremely dark red, almost black flowers form clusters of 4-5 blooms per stem. Up-facing blooms are good as a cut flower and contrast easily with yellows, creams, whites and would look terrific nestled among Alchemilla mollis with its chartreuse baby's breath blooms. Grow on dry side to avoid bulb rot. Push a couple of sticks of chalk in beside the bulbs each spring for a "timed-release" feed. Removing the orange center pistils will add bloom time. Zone: 3 |

Lilium 'Brindisi' (L.A. Hybrid Lily) | |
| One of my absolute all-time favorites. I'd love to have a dress this color, or maybe a bedroom, or maybe about 100 plants in my gardens. Soft, glowing pink flowers look good enough to eat. Grow on dry side to avoid bulb rot. Push a couple of sticks of chalk in beside the bulbs each spring for a "timed-release" feed. Removing the orange center pistils will add bloom time. Zone: 3 |

Lilium 'Brunello' (Asiatic Lily) | |
| Orange is in and this one is a true orange and one of the best oranges. Butterflies find this one quickly. Exotic look makes for a good cut flower choice. Brunello multiplies very nicely, indicating excellent potential for naturalizing. Late-season bloomer.Grow on dry side to avoid bulb rot. Push a couple of sticks of chalk in beside the bulbs each spring for a 'timed release' feed. Zone: 3 |

 Lilium 'Dazzle' (Asiatic Lily) | |
| That's exactly how I felt when I first saw this buttercup yellow lily: dazzled. Wouldn't it look grand combined with Dianthus 'Firewitch' or Dicentra x 'Candy Hearts'?

Lilium 'Fangio' (L.A. Hybrid Lily) | |
| Plum-colored petals and darker stamens grab your eye wherever they bloom in your gardens. So many other perennials are complimented by this great lily. Dicentra eximia 'Luxuriant' blooms all summer and although the foliage and flowers are opposite the lily, they make a great combination. (Photos courtesy of Dr. Annie Nevaldine.) Grow on dry side to avoid bulb rot. Push a couple of sticks of chalk in beside the bulbs each spring for a "timed-release" feed. Removing the orange center pistils will add bloom time. Zone: 3 |
| |
Lilium 'Gironde' (Asiatic Lily) | |
| The cheerfully flowering Asiatic lily ‘Gironde’ has big upward-facing clear yellow flowers, the standard for pure yellow cutflower lilies. This classic selection produces loose clusters of blooms in midsummer and is ideal for container culture. Zone: 3 |
| |
Lilium 'Navonna' (Asiatic Lily) | |
| Large, pure white without speckles but a tiny bit of green in the throat. Sturdy upright stems and upward facing blooms are excellent for cut use. Remember white is a great neutralizer for any garden. When something isn't exactly the way you planned, put in some white. Of course this beauty will blend with any other colors in the garden.

Lilium 'Royal Sunset' (L.A. Hybrid Lily) | |
| Geeze, I wish I had a dress this luscious color, whatever that is. It does look somewhat like one of the Alaska sunsets I've seen, with freckles that is. However you decide the color, I think combining it with Rosa 'Maigold' would be absolutely stunning. Zone: 3 |
| |
Lilium 'Salmon Classic' (L.A. Hybrid Lily) | |
| The soft salmon color on this one was my first experience combining with Achillea. I fell in love with this combination that year and have expanded to every color combination you could imagine. Early bloomer. Grow on dry side to avoid bulb rot. Push a couple of sticks of chalk in beside the bulbs each spring for a 'timed release' feed. Zone: 3 |
