Matrix Orange is a compact Asiatic lily hybrid that brings bold, upward-facing orange blooms to gardens in hardiness zones 3 through 9. Growing just 12 to 14 inches tall on sturdy stems, this perennial reaches its flowering peak in 70 to 79 days, making it a relatively quick reward for patience. The vibrant orange color and tidy, manageable size make it equally at home in containers on a patio or nestled into garden borders where it needs full sun to perform its best.

The defining feature of Matrix Orange is its compact, upright growth paired with brilliant orange flowers that face skyward rather than drooping downward. At just 12 to 14 inches tall, it avoids the leggy appearance of taller lilies and thrives in tight spaces where larger varieties would overwhelm. This hybrid's sturdy stems hold the blooms proudly without staking, and its non-GMO genetics mean you're working with a plant bred specifically for these garden-friendly traits.
Matrix Orange lilies are grown primarily as ornamental flowering plants for garden display and container gardening. The upward-facing blooms and compact habit make them excellent for borders, patio containers, and other landscape features where their vibrant orange color and tidy proportions can be enjoyed throughout the growing season.

Matrix Orange bulbs are pre-order items typically shipped in early March for spring planting. Plant bulbs directly into the garden or containers after the last frost date for your zone, positioning them at a depth of about three times their height in well-draining soil. Space bulbs 8 inches apart.
Deadhead spent flowers to extend the blooming period and direct energy back into the bulbs. Allow foliage to remain on the plant after flowering concludes, as the leaves continue to photosynthesize and replenish the bulb's reserves for next season. Remove foliage only after it has naturally yellowed and withered in late summer or early fall.
