Comment

"Asiatic hybrids were derived from a species that originated in Asia. They bloom in early summer, usually flowering for over a month. Their 4- to 6-inch blossoms, which may face up, out, or down, come in shades of red, orange, yellow, pink, lavender, and white. The plants produce compact growth and range from 2 to 5 feet high. They are great for growing in containers and for cutting and are quite disease resistant." from Botany.com.

"Asiatic lilies are the easiest to grow with upward facing flowers and no special soil requirements. Short ones are easy in pots" from Broadleigh Gardens.

"Asiatic lilies bloom in early summer, about 1 month before Oriental hybrids, with a different bloom style and color." from Farm Fresh Living.

"These vibrant lilies are short and sturdy, perfect for pots and flower beds." from Gee Tee Bulb Company.

"Asiatic Lilies are easy, dependable perennials that put on a great show in the early summer border. This is one of the dwarf Pixie series, bred originally for their compact habit in containers, but equally as unique and useful in the garden. Plants look their best when massed together in groups towards the front of the border, but are equally at home in the rock garden. Flowers are large, upfacing trumpets, colourful but lacking in fragrance. Excellent for cutting." from Heritage Perennials.

"Set amongst the beautiful Northamptonshire countryside, this 60 acre, private woodland garden (Evenley Wood Garden) offers a huge variety of plants ranging from trees, shrubs and climbers, to a wide selection of bulbs, including a substantial collection of lilies."
