Lilium Fragrant Blend Oriental Lily Bulbs

Lilium Fragrant Blend brings the allure of Oriental lilies—aptly known as the "jewels of the garden"—to your outdoor space. This popular mix features highly fragrant flowers with a rich, spicy scent, borne on sturdy stems covered in lance-shaped leaves. Growing 36 to 48 inches tall, these flamboyant lilies bloom mid to late summer, showcasing a harmonious blend of white, yellow, and pink hues. Ideal as cut flowers, their exquisite beauty adds elegance to garden beds and fresh bouquets alike.

This blend features Lilium x oriental varieties, beloved for their upright habit and winter hardiness (Zones 3-8). These perennials can remain in the ground through winter, making them perfect for gardeners in cooler climates. Their tall, graceful stems create a striking visual impact when planted in clusters in beds, borders, or containers. In cutting gardens, their colorful, fragrant blooms are prized for arrangements. When harvesting, leave 2/3 of the stem intact to support bulb regeneration for future seasons.

Fragrant Blend lilies thrive in full sun (6-8 hours) to partial shade. To keep their roots cool, mulch around the plants and pair them with low-growing companions. They prefer nutrient-rich, well-drained soil with consistent moisture but tolerate average garden soils. Avoid waterlogging, as excessive moisture can lead to bulb rot. Remove faded flowers promptly, and only cut back foliage once it naturally yellows to maintain the bulbs' vitality. Naturally resistant to deer and critters, these lilies are as practical as they are breathtaking.

Plant bulbs in early spring, spacing them 6-8 inches apart and burying them 6-8 inches deep. With proper care, Fragrant Blend lilies will deliver vibrant, aromatic blooms year after year.
