SUMMER SNOW® LA HYBRID LILY
The Lilium LA Summer Snow® is an exceptionally pure and elegant LA Hybrid lily, born from the crossing of Longiflorum and Asiatic lilies, prized for its classic white coloration and reliable performance. True to its name, this variety produces large, showy, upward-facing trumpet-shaped flowers of a dazzling, clear snow-white that provides a brilliant, cool contrast in the mid-summer garden. Reaching a compact height of around 18 to 24 inches, Summer Snow® is a naturally sturdy, genetically dwarf cultivar that stands well without staking, making it an excellent candidate for the front of borders, mass plantings, or elegant container displays. Furthermore, it possesses the desirable trait of being slightly fragrant and features thicker, weather-resistant petals inherited from its parentage.
Summer Snow® lily thrives in full sun to partial sun - it appreciates sun on its leaves but prefers its roots to remain cool. Success depends heavily on a moist, yet absolutely well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. Following its impressive bloom, snip off the faded flowers (deadheading), but do not cut down the green foliage; the leaves must be allowed to photosynthesize and turn yellow naturally to store energy for the bulb, guaranteeing another stunning display of white next summer.
