Lilium Asiatic White

Lilium Asiatic White

Pure white, upward-facing blooms that deliver clarity and contrast in early-season plantings. A reliable performer for mass displays in public and commercial landscapes.

Description

Lilium Asiatic White offers an elegant and luminous presence in the summer garden, producing pristine white flowers with a crisp, modern look. Standing 80–90 cm tall, this variety brings clarity and light to darker corners of borders or shaded planting pockets. Its strong stems resist wind damage, while its upright blooms face the sun with confidence throughout June and July. With its clean colour palette, this lily is a versatile player in both contemporary and traditional schemes.

In Irish conditions, it excels in well-drained, humus-rich soil, especially where there’s shelter from harsh Atlantic winds. It performs brilliantly in urban gardens, roof terraces, and cottage-style beds. It can also be container-grown for patios or commercial displays with seasonal impact. Combine Lilium Asiatic White with Allium Purple Sensation, Eremurus Cleopatra or Gladiolus byzantinus for a bold contrast. It’s also striking when underplanted with low-growing

This lily is moderately pollinator-friendly, offering pollen access to bees and hoverflies despite its lack of scent. Its architectural form and bright flowers make it a standout for florists and landscapers looking for long-lasting floral structure. For best results, stake in exposed sites and deadhead promptly to prolong flowering and direct energy back into the bulb.
