LILY LOOKS™ TINY DIAMOND ASIATIC LILY

The Lilium asiatic 'Tiny Diamond' is a vibrant, dwarf Asiatic lily from the popular Lily Looks™ series, valued for its compact stature and brilliant, bicolored blooms. This small perennial typically grows to only 12 to 15 inches in height, making it an excellent choice for containers, the front of a sunny border, or mass planting. In early to mid-summer, 'Tiny Diamond' produces striking, upward-facing, trumpet-shaped flowers, each featuring a bold rose-red or ruby-pink color that sharply contrasts with a crisp white center. These showy, multiple-bud-per-stem blossoms are held aloft on sturdy, dark red stems, providing a clean, vertical accent to the garden with its glossy, dark green foliage.

For ideal growth, Lilium 'Tiny Diamond' should be planted in a location that receives full sun to partial shade, where the light will encourage strong stems and abundant flowering. It requires average, evenly moist conditions in a well-drained, rich, organic soil; it is essential to ensure the bulb never sits in standing water, as this can lead to rot. After the plant finishes blooming, deadhead the spent flowers to maintain a tidy appearance, but allow the stem and leaves to remain green until they naturally yellow and die back in the fall, which is crucial for recharging the bulb for the following season.
