MONA LISA ORIENTAL LILY

Lilium orientalis 'Mona Lisa' is a fragrant, compact Oriental lily variety, celebrated for its suitability in containers and as a foreground plant in borders. Unlike the taller Oriental types, 'Mona Lisa' is a dwarf hybrid, reaching a modest 24 to 30 inches in height, making its large, beautiful blooms accessible and less prone to flopping. The flowers are outward-facing, soft pink with deep rose centers, dark speckles, and gently recurved petals, appearing in mid to late summer (USDA Zones 3–9). The highly scented blooms are a fantastic choice for attracting pollinators and creating exquisite indoor arrangements, and the plant is generally easy to grow, showing good hardiness and tolerance for a range of soils provided they are well-drained.

For successful growth, plant in a spot that receives full sun to partial shade, ensuring the soil is fertile and consistently moist but never soggy. Oriental lilies prefer their roots to be cool, so applying a layer of mulch or underplanting with low-growing perennials is beneficial. To maintain the health of the bulb, remove spent flowers (deadhead) after blooming but do not cut the stem or foliage until it has fully yellowed and died back in the fall; this foliage is vital for replenishing the bulb's energy for the next season's flowers.

Asiatic Lily
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.

LA Hybrid Lily
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 Lily
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.
