The fragrant flowers arrive just when summer gardens need a boost, their showy presence lighting up beds from June through July. This hybrid thrives across a wide hardiness range (zones 4 to 8) and handles the tricky balance of needing consistent moisture without drowning in poorly drained soil. Plant bulbs in fall or very early spring, spacing them 12 inches apart in groups of three for the most dramatic display, and mulch around them to keep roots cool while foliage basks in sun.
Longiflorum-asiatic lilies are primarily grown as ornamental garden flowers, prized for their fragrant, showy blooms in summer borders and cutting gardens. The elegant trumpet-shaped flowers make them excellent as cut flowers for arrangements, and their strong fragrance brings presence to both outdoor beds and indoor bouquets.

Potted lilies can be planted outdoors anytime from spring to fall. Plant at the same depth they were in their container, spacing 12 inches apart. Water thoroughly after transplanting and maintain consistent moisture as they establish.
Plant bulbs 4 to 6 inches deep in fall or very early spring. For best visual impact, plant in groups of three spaced 12 inches apart.
Remove spent flowers to direct energy back into the bulb, but leave stems in place until they yellow and die back naturally in late summer or fall. Weak or damaged stems growing in excessive shade or strong wind exposure may need staking rather than pruning; support them early in the season before they flop over.
