Here’s Looking at You Kid - Oriental Lily Mix

bare-root plants
Lillium
Fedco exclusive! 30-48" tall.

While we disagree that classic film is improved by colorization, this flower collection jumps off the silver screen into technicolor with style! Enduringly beautiful with soft brushstrokes that span the classic palette of solid pinks, solid whites, stunning bicolors, sophisticated tricolors—some with spots, stripes, highlights, shadowy beauty and a hint of gold. A lovely set that could melt even the most cynical, seemingly lost protagonists who could turn from heartless profiteering to assisting the Resistance. Blooms in August.

Each fragrant mix contains 5 varieties: the well-known varieties Casa Blanca and Stargazer, plus lesser-known Tarrango, The Edge and Tricolor. If one of these becomes unavailable, we’ll substitute a similarly wonderful variety.

Additional Information

Herbaceous Perennial Plants

When you receive your order, open the bags and check the stock immediately. Roots and crowns should be firm and pliable. Surface mold is harmless and will not affect the plant’s future performance. Store plants in their packaging in a cool (35–40°) location until you are ready to plant. If it’s going to be awhile, you can pot up your perennials.

Do not plant bare-root perennial plant crowns directly outdoors before danger of frost has passed. Wet and/or cold conditions for an extended period may cause rotting.

Asiatic and Oriental Lilies

Queens of the perennial border, fabulously showy and surprisingly easy to grow. Good as single specimens or in masses. Great cutflowers, with 3–5 flowers per stem.

Our lily mixes contain 5 varieties. If a variety we list in the description becomes unavailable, we’ll substitute a similarly wonderful variety.

  • Asiatic lilies tend to be slightly shorter than Oriental lilies, 24–36" tall on average. Flowers face upward and bloom mid-June to July. Not much fragrance.
  • Oriental lilies easily grow 30–48" tall by their second season. Blooms tend to face outward or slightly down and bloom in August. Very fragrant!

Light shade prolongs summer blooms and keeps the bulbs cool. Plant bulbs 6–8" deep, 6" apart, in rich, slightly acid, well-drained soil.
