Lilium 'Eyeliner' Asiatic Lily Bulbs

Lilium 'Eyeliner' is a sophisticated addition to midsummer gardens, with its tall, upright stems bearing large, upward-facing blooms. These milky white flowers, accented by a speckled green throat and a delicate purple edge, rise 24 to 36 inches tall on strong stems adorned with strappy green foliage. Blending effortlessly with annuals and flowering perennials, 'Eyeliner' creates a harmonious display in the garden and makes stunning additions to floral arrangements and summer bouquets.

A Longiflorum Asiatic Hybrid and a member of the Lilium x asiaticum family, 'Eyeliner' is a vigorous, winter-hardy perennial (Zones 3-9) that grows more robust each year. The bulbs can remain in the ground through winter, ensuring consistent blooms season after season. Perfect for group plantings, this lily excels in beds, borders, containers, and patio pots. Its stunning, long-lasting blooms are an essential for cutting gardens. To preserve bulb vitality, leave at least 2/3 of the stem intact when harvesting flowers.

'Eyeliner' thrives in sunny locations (6-8 hours) but tolerates partial shade. To keep roots cool, apply mulch and plant low-growing companions at the base. These lilies prefer rich, well-drained soil with consistent moisture but can adapt to average conditions. Avoid letting the soil dry out or stay overly wet, as either can harm the bulbs. Deadhead spent flowers promptly and cut back foliage only after it naturally yellows to allow bulbs to store energy for the next season. Resistant to deer and critters, 'Eyeliner' is as practical as it is beautiful.

Plant bulbs in early spring, spacing them 6-8 inches apart and planting them 6-8 inches deep. With minimal care, enjoy the timeless elegance of 'Eyeliner' lilies year after year.
