Asiatic lilies do not have a fragrance, and their flowers tend to be smaller than some other types of lilies. They come in many different colors, including shades of orange, red, yellow, and creamy white. Unfortunately, Asiatic lilies are a favorite of deer and rabbits. They have strong, straight stems that seldom need staking when planted in full sun. Asiatics make wonderful, long-lasting cut flowers. Of all the types of lilies, Oriental lilies are among the most fragrant. The heady perfume produced by the flowers is particularly strong in the evening.
Oriental lilies have broader leaves than some other varieties of lilies, and the foliage and flowers are deer and rabbit resistant. The anthers of Oriental lilies produce a lot of heavy pollen. If used as a cut flower, pull off the anthers as the bloom opens to keep the pollen from staining furniture. Oriental lily flowers are as large as a dessert plate, and many buds are found on each stem.
Oriental lilies come in various shades of pink and purplish red, in addition to white and creamy yellow. The petals of some varieties are spotted and recurving, while others are not. Among the latest flowering lilies, Orientals grow 2 to 5 feet tall. Also called Aurelian lilies, these hybrid lilies are best described as incredible. Prolific, trumpet-shaped, colorful flowers are long-lasting and highly fragrant. Their petals lack spots and the leaves are broad, though not as broad as the leaves of an Oriental lily.
Some trumpet lily varieties have a dozen or more buds per stem, while others have only a few. Trumpet lilies come in various shades of white, yellow, orange, cream, and pink, often with a star-shaped throat in a contrasting color. I grew the bulbs in my very first garden and the plants reached nearly 8 feet tall. The fragrance was incredible. One of the best types of lilies for summer gardens, Orienpet lilies are a cross between Oriental hybrids and trumpet lilies.
Their blooms have a shallow trumpet shape before they fully open into a broad bloom. The flowers are 6 to 10 inches across, and they come in shades of pink, yellow, red, orange, and white. The outward facing flowers are heavily scented, and the plants reach two to three feet in height. There are some truly stunning selections of these lilies.
Orienpets make excellent cut flowers. Their flowers are bigger, bolder, and sexier than the Asiatics. Plus, they come in a wider range of intense colors. Like Asiatic lilies, LA hybrids have no fragrance. Each bloom measures about 7 inches across and the plants grow up to four feet tall. Also known as martagon lilies, each stem produces a dozen or more blooms. The stalks of many varieties grow quite tall; up to 6 feet!
Some have spotted petals while others do not, and most varieties are quite fragrant. A North American native lily, the Canada lily sports orange or yellow, slightly recurved petals. The plants grow between 2 and 4 feet tall, with each stem producing whorls of 3 to 8 leaves at intervals along the length of the stem. Each stalk produces between 5 and 20 nodding blooms.
Its L. If you are after the maximum number of flowers per buck, Black Beauty will not disappoint! It will likely bear at least 50 flowers per head, and sometimes may even up to or flowers! The supersize bulbs help support the heavy load of buds and flowers. Each flower is a dark crimson on the outer petals but with a lime green, clearly defined star in the center.
Black Beauty is one of the few Oriental Hybrids that can tolerate more alkaline soils. Thanks to inheriting some traits from L. The flowers themselves are a rich crimson, with a border of pale cream. With the sun shining through the garden, this adds a glorious halo effect around each bloom.
The huge, dark anthers are a feature in themselves, standing out from the main flower by several inches. The style is the long stalk-like arm between the anthers with a rounded end and no pollen. Do this before the pollen has started to come loose from the anthers. You can save the pollen to pollinate a different flower later, but right now you just want to prevent the plant from self-pollinating.
Once you have pollinated the flower, make sure you pop a tag onto the plant to remind you which species it was crossed with. Simply pop the collected pollen into your fridge.
It should stay fresh for many weeks and can be brought out again when the second plant starts to flower. If you want to be ultra-cautious, or you think you may forget to collect the seed, wrap a bit of muslin or breathable material around the pod.
The seeds will stay safe in the bag rather than disappear into the ground. Once you have collected your seed, blow away the dead seed chaff gently. You can plant your viable lily seeds straight away into a neutral or ericaceous seed compost. Place your seeds on top of the compost and give them a very light covering of compost or perlite only 3mm or so. Soak the propagator in water from the bottom, until the compost looks moist on top.
Enclose the whole tray in a plastic bag. In just a few weeks your tiny lily seedlings should start to appear! There really is a variety for every taste. From the 8ft monsters with massive 10inch blooms to the adorable little dwarf hybrids, just perfect for a balcony garden.
Lilies really are an easy plant to grow. Even if you find yourself with a mystery lily, remember the general rules of providing well-drained, lime-free soil in a sunny location and they should do just fine.
