Adding lilies to your garden can add charm and fragrance. With various types available, from early summer to autumn blooms, careful blending can provide a continuous cycle. Lilies are not just versatile in their blooming season, but they can also fit both formal and naturalistic settings, as well as containers. Additionally, these flowers make great cut flowers. Characterized by trumpet shape and six simple or boldly marked petals, tall stems with long lance-shaped leaves, and stunning hues of gold, orange, pink, red, and white, lilies are a popular plant. The three most common species of lilies include Asiatics, Orientals, and species. For a continuous bloom, it is best to plant Asiatics first, followed by Orientals and then Orientals again. Asiatic lilies the smallest type grow up to 2-3 feet tall and thrive when planted in well-drained soil.
While daffodils are typically associated with holiday decor, they can actually be grown outside in warmer regions once they’ve finished blooming indoors. Meanwhile, Oriental lilies are highly prized for their sweet fragrance and impressive height, which can reach up to four feet tall. These stunning blooms tend to appear in the middle of summer, usually after Asiatic lilies have already bloomed. If you prefer a smaller flower with an enchanting scent, trumpet lilies are a great choice. With their petite, trumpet-like blooms, these lilies come in a variety of colors and can fill your garden with a delightful fragrance. Of course, there are many other types of lilies available to choose from, including tiger lilies, Turkish lilies, and hybrid varieties like Orienpet and LA lilies. To find your favorite, simply browse through gardening catalogs!
