Lilium Perfect Pairing Summer Blend Asiatic Lily Bulbs

Lilium Perfect Pairing Summer Blend is a true Asiatic lily mix, with each pack containing its own unique mix of white, orange, and reddish flowers. But all are florist quality lilies, with big, outward facing bowl-shaped blooms. These beloved garden plants grow to a mature size of between 26 to 38 inches tall and bloom midsummer, reblooming year after year in optimal conditions. When harvesting the flowers for bouquets or floral arrangements, only remove 1/3 of the stem, no more, in order to leave enough foliage to renew the bulb for the following year's growth.

The Perfect Pairing Summer Blend contains Lilium x asiaticum varieties, commonly called Asiatic lilies. Considered strong, winter hardy perennials (Zones 3-8), the bulbs can be left in the ground over winter. Asiatic lilies have an upright habit and look best when planted in groups or masses in beds, borders, patio pots, and containers. Stunning cut flowers, they are an absolute must-have for a cutting garden.

Perfect Pairing Summer Blend Asiatic lilies grow best in a sunny (6-8 hours) to partially shady spot but prefer cool soil, so mulch them well to keep the root zone cool and consider adding low-growing companions to shade their feet. They prefer rich, organic, medium moist, freely draining soil but grow well in any average soil. Do not allow soil to completely dry out, but too much moisture may cause bulb rot. Deadhead faded flowers immediately but cut back foliage only after leaves and stems turn yellow. Perfect Pairing Summer Blend Asiatic lilies are deer and critter resistant.

Plant Perfect Pairing Summer Blend Asiatic lily bulbs 6-8 inches apart and 6 to 8 inches deep in early spring.
