Description

The Lilium Asiatic Mix is a vibrant, colour-rich ensemble of hardy, summer-flowering lilies designed to deliver maximum visual impact across Irish gardens. Including a selection of reds, oranges, yellows, whites, and pinks, this mix introduces height, rhythm, and long-lasting colour to planting schemes from June through July. Ideal for both amateur gardeners and professional landscapers, this mix thrives in a range of Irish conditions, particularly in well-drained soils with good sun exposure. Each stem, growing up to 100 cm, produces multiple blooms that light up mixed beds, community gardens, urban containers, and commercial displays.

The variety of colours offers flexibility in planting design, allowing for either complementary or contrasting schemes depending on neighbouring plants. While not heavily scented, Asiatic lilies do attract moderate pollinator activity and can play a supportive role in biodiversity-friendly gardens. For best results, combine with Allium Purple Rain or late-flowering Scilla species to extend the flowering period and provide continuous forage for pollinators.

These lilies are also excellent for cut flower production, with their long vase life and vibrant colours making them a staple in summer bouquets. They require minimal care beyond well-draining soil, a sunny to lightly shaded position, and deadheading to prolong flowering. Their strong vertical form also brings structural interest to perennial beds and meadow-edge plantings.
