Large white blooms with intoxicating fragrance characterize this Oriental lily hybrid. The flowers are exotic in appearance yet hardy enough to thrive across most of the continental United States. Its compact upright growth and relatively quick bloom time (around 90 days) make it accessible even to gardeners new to lilies, while the long-lasting, scented flowers deliver the sophisticated appeal usually reserved for specialty cut-flower growers.
Sunny Bahamas lilies are grown as ornamental flowering plants, prized for their dramatic white blooms and fragrance. They excel as cut flowers, bringing exotic elegance indoors for arrangements, and thrive in garden beds where their upright habit and seasonal performance add vertical interest and sensory appeal to landscape plantings.

Sunny Bahamas bulbs are pre-ordered items expected to ship in early March for spring planting. Plant bulbs directly outdoors after the last frost date when soil has warmed and can be worked. Space bulbs 12 inches apart and plant at a depth approximately three times the bulb's height in full-sun locations.
Remove spent flowers promptly to extend the blooming period and maintain plant energy for bulb development. In fall, once foliage has yellowed completely, cut stems back to ground level to tidy the planting and prepare the bulb for winter dormancy.
