LILIUM ASI TINY DOUBLE YOU
Grower Notes:
Lilium asiatic 'Tiny Double You' is a unique and outstanding dwarf Asiatic lily, noteworthy for being one of the first double-flowering varieties in the compact 'Tiny' series. It typically reaches a height of 18 to 24 inches, making it a perfect, non-fragrant, feature plant for containers, patio pots, or the front of a garden border. In early to mid-summer, 'Tiny Double You' produces large, double, bright orange blooms with multiple layers of petals, giving the flowers a dense, plush appearance. These showy, upward-facing clusters of flowers are held on strong stems above its glossy, deep green foliage.
'Tiny Double You' thrives in full sun to partial shade. Like most lilies, it prefers its "head in the sun and feet in the shade," so mulching around the base will help keep the roots cool. Plant the bulb in rich, well-drained soil and ensure it does not become waterlogged, as poor drainage can lead to bulb rot. Water regularly to maintain a consistently moist, but not soggy, soil condition. After the blooms have faded, remove the spent flowers (deadhead), but do not cut back the stem and foliage until they have yellowed and died naturally in the fall. The green leaves are essential for feeding the bulb for the following season's impressive display.

Asiatic Lilies are native to several areas of Asia. They are easy to care for and the earliest to bloom in the Lily family. Asiatics are fragrance free and come in so many vibrant colors - some even have double blooms! They thrive in all types of soil as long as it is well-drained (add some sand for drainage). These lilies multiply quickly and their bulbs can double every season.
L.A. Hybrid Lilies were introduce back in 1992 and are a cross between longiflorum lilies (Easter Lily) and Asiatic hybrids. They get their trumpet shape and longer vase life from the longiflorum, and their warmer flower colors and upward-facing habit from the Asiatic. They have strong, sturdy stems for cutting and are perfect in containers, beds and borders.
Oriental Lilies are native to Japan. They are late bloomers - blooming when Asiatic lilies start to fade. They grow considerably taller than Asiatics and are perfect for cut flowers due to their thick, strong stems and heavily fragrance. Yes - they are very fragrant! Their leaves are wider and grows more heart-shaped and their flowers are star-shaped. Their bulbs multiply slower than Asiatic lilies and thrive in well-drained, organic soil.
