Lilies make a charming and aromatic addition to any garden. They are available in various types and can bloom from early summer to autumn if blended carefully. Lilies are versatile and can thrive in both formal and naturalistic settings, as well as containers. Moreover, these flowers are perfect for cut flowers. You can easily recognize them by their trumpet shape and six simple or boldly marked petals. They have tall stems with long, lance-shaped leaves and come in an array of stunning hues such as gold, orange, pink, red, and white. The most popular lily species include Asiatics, Orientals, and species. To achieve a continuous bloom, it’s best to plant Asiatics first, followed by Orientals and then Orientals again. Asiatic lilies are the smallest type, growing up to 2-3 feet tall and blooming in early summer. They don’t require much attention as long as the soil is well-drained.

Although commonly seen as a holiday plant, daffodils can actually be grown outdoors in warmer regions once they finish flowering indoors. Oriental lilies are famous for their sweet scent and can reach impressive heights of up to 4 feet. These beauties bloom in the middle of the summer, often after Asiatic lilies have already passed their prime. On the other hand, trumpet lilies boast petite flowers that resemble trumpets, yet carry a delightful fragrance. There are also plenty of other lily varieties available, including tiger lilies, Turkish lilies, and hybrid types such as Orienpet and LA lilies.
