Lilium Asiatic Black/White

Lilium Asiatic Black/White

An elegant bi-colour lily with deep black-purple centres fading to crisp white tips. Excellent for bold landscape contrast or clean, structured planting.

Description

This refined mix of Lilium Asiatic Black and White cultivars provides an exceptional display of contrast that blends dramatic intensity with classic purity. Perfect for designers and gardeners seeking sophisticated colour palettes, this mix makes a statement whether used in private gardens or professional landscaping projects. The combination of deep maroon and pure white lilies creates dynamic tension and harmony, suitable for formal borders, contemporary garden designs, and focal beds in civic landscapes.

Blooming in early summer, both colours in this mix reach a height of 80–100 cm and carry multiple upward-facing, non-scented blooms per stem. They are supported by rigid stalks that withstand summer winds and rain typical of the Irish climate. While not top-tier pollinator plants, these lilies will still receive visits from bees and other beneficial insects, especially when integrated with other pollinator-friendly perennials. The bold colour contrast also enhances evening gardens when lit with low-level garden lighting.

Ideal for back-of-border planting or interspersed with herbaceous perennials. These lilies perform best in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny location. For layered displays, underplant with groundcover or companion bulbs like Tulip White Triumphator to echo the white tones in spring.
