A Guide To Lily Varieties

Lilies are known for their exceptional perpetual bulbs and gleaming flowers. If you’re looking to bring the mighty trio of authentic colour, aroma, and structure to your garden, lilies would BE best suit your preference.

There are almost 100 categories and hybrids of these ample bulbs that can be relished from the middle of spring to late summer. So let’s dive deep into the below guide to know several types of lily flowers.

Sure?

  • American Hybrids

The American blend blooms in late spring in hot climatic conditions and midsummer in cooler weather conditions. They’re mostly tall-growing structures that show off best in the speckled shade when grown about five inches in the light cool soil. It is an outstanding flower with a perfect mixture of colour and contrast, suitable for use as a cut flower in fresh arrangements.

  • Asiatic Hybrids

Asiatic hybrids mate from various distinctive species of lilies, mainly procured from central and East Asia. Asiatics make amazing, enduring flowers and are also the most admired lily hybrids globally because they are easy to develop, propagate rapidly and come in almost every colour imagined. The petals of these deodorizing varieties are often speckled. Their stems usually grow three to four feet tall, and have three to six flowers per stem and often blossom the earliest of all lily varieties.

  • Martagon Hybrids

The Martagon lilies are exclusive flowers in terms of appearance, size and contrast of the petal. They feature tall stems with infinite small blooms that face downward in a selective way, called the “Turk’s cap”. Although they’re found in many dazzling colours, the deep red species are a Martagon trademark. These natural lily varieties are early bloomers that germinate up to 50 per stem in cool weather and hue.

  • Oriental Hybrids

Oriental lilies are another common and strong hybrid after Asiatics that grow in late summer. Their big flowers tend to be upright-facing with petals that grow 3-5 ft tall, which is why they're often mentioned as 'StarGazers' as they resemble to look upwards. However, they demand efforts to grow. They come in tints of pink, purple, red, white and creamy yellow flowers with an enchanting strong aroma, which is why they're a florist's preference and the most cherished cut flowers of all time.

  • Trumpet Lilies & Aurelian Hybrids

Aurelian hybrids are assembled into the same division as trumpets. They’re comparable to Trumpet lilies constantly combined into Aurelian’s as the season grows. These charming hybrid lilies are best described as plentiful, dense, multicoloured flowers that are long-lasting and have a very refreshing strong sweet aroma, which describes why they’re such a famous cut flower. They enjoy the full sun; their stalk grows up to 4-6 ft, and each stem blooms up to 12-15 others. They are not cold hardy - so, if you choose to grow them during winter, you should grow them in pots or containers indoors.
