Oriental Lily Bulb Mix – Fragrant Late-Summer Blooms – 25-Pack

Oriental Lily Bulb Mix – The Most Fragrant Bulb You Can Plant for Late-Summer Color

When most summer bulbs have peaked and faded, the Oriental Lily is just getting started. Blooming in July and August — later than almost any other lily — these towering, intensely fragrant flowers fill the late-summer garden with the kind of bold color and heady perfume that stops people mid-stride.

These are the lilies florists reach for when elegance is non-negotiable. Now you can grow them yourself, in a curated mix of white, pink, yellow, and surprise shades — 25 bulbs per pack.

Why Oriental Lilies Belong in Every Cutting Garden

• Intensely Fragrant: Among the most powerfully scented flowers you can grow — a single stem can perfume an entire room. The fragrance is sweet, rich, and unmistakably lily.
• Late-Season Blooming: Flowers in July and August, after most other lilies and summer bulbs have finished — extending your cutting garden season and filling the late-summer garden with color when it’s needed most.
• Impressive Height & Scale: Grows 24–48 inches tall with large, showy blooms — creates dramatic vertical interest in borders and makes a bold statement in arrangements.
• True Hardy Perennial: Leave bulbs in the ground and they return each year, producing larger clumps and more blooms over time. Cold-hardy with no digging required in most climates.
• Florist-Quality Cut Flowers: Long stems, large blooms, and exceptional vase life — the same variety florists use for premium arrangements and bouquets.
• Mixed Color Surprise: 25 bulbs in a curated mix of white, pink, yellow, and additional shades — creates a naturally varied, full display with complementary colors.

Perfect For

• Late-summer cutting gardens and fresh flower arrangements
• Mixed perennial borders needing late-season color
• Fragrant garden beds near patios, paths, and entryways
• Mass plantings for sweeping late-summer impact
• Naturalizing in beds where they’ll return and multiply each year

Planting Guide

• When to Plant: Fall or early spring — fall planting produces the strongest first-year blooms
• Depth: Plant bulbs 6–8 inches deep, pointed end up
• Spacing: 8–12 inches apart; plant in groups of 5+ for best visual impact
• Light: Full sun to partial shade — best bloom production in full sun with roots shaded by neighboring plants
• Soil: Rich, well-drained soil; Oriental lilies dislike wet feet
• Zones: Hardy perennial in USDA Zones 4–8; returns and multiplies each year without lifting
