More Information
There are two main classes of Lilies, Asiatic and Oriental.
- Asiatic lilies are generally shorter, have upward facing flowers and bloom in early summer.
They come in many different colours and slowly expand in your garden every year.
Their average height is about three feet.
- Oriental lilies tend to be a little taller, so if you live in a windy area consider staking them to keep them from blowing over.
Oriental lilies bloom a little later than the Asiatic lilies, so if you grow them together you will have Lilies all summer long.
