Hardy lilies are some of the easiest and most reliable plants you can have in your garden. They are perennials in our area, meaning they come back every year. You'll find these lilies sorted by two general classifications: Asiatic and Oriental.
Asiatic lilies are available in a range of beautiful colors and are fragrant-free. Asiatic lilies will spread and multiply in your garden, once they are established.
Asiatic lilies have multiple narrow leaves running up and down the stem and resemble small artichokes as they emerge. Oriental lilies are fragrant, tend to be taller then Asiatic lilies and multiply slowly in your garden. Both types of lilies are tall perennials with flower stalks ranging from 18" to over 6'. These stalks are sturdy and typically will support themselves, without the need to stake them. Lilies will do well in full sun or partial shade. Once you’ve selected the site, amend your existing soil by adding 2" to 3" of compost, worked in to about 8". Lilies like well-draining soils and the compost will enrich your existing soil and improve drainage.
Lilies can be planted from rooted container stock or
from bulbs. The soil preparation is the same.
