Know before you buy
An LA hybrid is a cross between Longiflorum and Asiatic lilies. This combination gives you the best of both worlds: the large, trumpet-shaped blooms and fragrance of the Longiflorum with the vibrant colors and hardiness of the Asiatic lily.
Each order includes a set of five bulbs. These are high-quality 16/18cm bulbs, which are large enough to produce strong, healthy stems and impressive blooms in their first season.
These lilies are versatile and can be grown in both garden beds and large containers. If planting in pots, ensure the container has good drainage and is deep enough to accommodate the 6-inch planting depth.
Yes, the Yellow Diamond is a robust perennial. As long as they are planted in a suitable hardiness zone (3 through 10) and provided with proper care, they will return and bloom reliably each summer.
They thrive in full sun to partial shade. While they will bloom best with at least six hours of direct sunlight, they can handle some afternoon shade in hotter climates to protect the petals.
Absolutely. Their strong stems, upward-facing blooms, and pleasant fragrance make them an excellent choice for cut flower arrangements. For the longest vase life, cut the stems when the buds are just beginning to show color.
