This mix is a big bargain, and gives you 3 bulbs of the highly fragrant Oriental Lily group. You'll have all the main oriental colors including red, pink, and white.
Spectacular lilies for your garden; its easy. Everybody loves lilies, and today's hybrids are a snap to grow, unlike some of the more difficult ones of the past. Today's favorites are no more work than growing a tulip or daffodil.
Growing Lilies: True lilies (which don't include Daylilies and others which are not in the genus Lilium) are easy to grow today, and more popular every season. Since they are upright and take practically no space at ground level, it's easy to plant lilies between other established perennials and shrubs. Most can also tolerate some shade, which adds versatility for the gardener. There are many lily groups, but to keep it simple, we will consider only a few of the main types that are important to gardeners. Each lily we ship includes complete instructions for planting. So don't hesitate. You can easily bring the spectacular beauty of lily flowers to any summer meadow or garden.
'Wild' Lilies or 'Species' Lilies These are the true wildflowers from the world over. They are the ones all the glamorous hybrids are descended from. We're fortunate to have some of these botanical treasures on our list of lilies this season.
Oriental Hybrid Lilies are the now famous, very fragrant ones with large, flattened flowers such as red Stargazer and white Casa Blanca. These are the ones now so popular in the floral trade, but are also very easy to grow. They bloom from mid-summer through early fall. Most have very large, outward-facing, fragrant flowers.
Asiatic Hybrid Lilies are today's largest group of garden lilies, quite easy to 'naturalize'. This growing group of lilies was begun by hybridizers in the US, and were first called 'Mid-Century Hybrids.' Compared to Orientals, the Asiatic Hybrid lilies bloom earlier (early to mid summer), the plants are shorter, the flowers a bit smaller, and most blooms are upward-facing and star-shaped. Some of the most famous Asiatic Hybrids are yellow 'Connecticut King,' and the famous red, 'Gran Paradiso.'
Tiger Lilies. This group is led by the famous old orange wild lily, which used to be called Lilium tigrinum. Botanists have changed that to Lilum lancifolium, but that doesn't stop most people (including us) from using the old name 'tigrinum.' From the original orange, the hybridizers have created new colors from white to pink. All have the large flowers, black spots, and tough perennial qualities of the original. (By the way, don't call any old spotted orange lily 'tiger lily'. This one is the real thing, and no lily common name is more mis-used.)
Trumpet Lilies Sometimes called 'Aurelian Hybrids' or other names, the large, tall trumpet lilies are all descended from The Regal Lily, a white wild species lily from China. All are incredibly fragrant, and wonderful for cutting. They grow tall, and often need staking, since a well-grown stalk can have over 15 huge flowers.

"Got 3 corms. 2 were already sending up shoots. Those were the only 2 that grew. The other one looked healthy but didn't grow."
"Only 2/3 of the plants actually grew, but the ones that do are thriving!"
"Wow, I couldn't be happier. I planted a mix of Oriental Lilly bulbs at the base of a Dogwood tree last fall and this summer they bloomed in shades of pink and pale yellow. They were very easy to grow and required little care."
"I love your products and the customer service has been excellent. I will continue to make your my go to online gardener."
"Love this product"
"I am fairly new gardener. . . I purchased these Lilies on a whim. . . without knowing much about them. . . they arrived pretty quickly and the planting instructions were very helpful for a novice like me. . . we have a lot of squirrels and lot of snow in MI so I was not sure if there is any one left but come spring and right away they started growing. . . all of them! They really surprised me with their vigorous growth. . . I am super excited and almost everyday check them. . . one day to my disappointment the lawn mower cut one of the plant half way and I was worried that it is going to die. . . but no. . . it is still standing strong. . . they never cease to surprise me. . . !"
