It's Pollen Free!
Lily Easy Samba - It’s pollen free! No more worries of staining clothes or furnishings, flowers last longer and produce little to no fragrance – a huge plus for those with allergies. The dramatic pumpkin-orange lilies open wide to reveal wide deep maroon brushstrokes and freckled throats. Long, slender leaves scamper up the tall stems as a fitting backdrop for the sumptuous six-pointed star-shaped flowers. Straight stems and countless buds yield superb cut flowers. Asiatic Lilies are the earliest to bloom in the Lily family and easiest to grow.

Lily General Information

Exotic looking, but not fussy. Asiatic Lily are the first Lilies (Lilium) to bloom in summer in a wide variety of bold or pastel colors. Will multiply quickly. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Lily Plant Care

Asiatic Lilies like direct sunlight and well-drained soil. Remove faded flowers, but do not remove or cutback stalks until complete dieback has occurred in the fall, it could weaken the bulb. Divide plants every 3 or 4 years in spring when new growth emerges.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!
