Description
L/A Hybrid Lilies (Longiflorum-Asiatic Hybrids) combine the best features of Asiatic lilies and Longiflorum lilies, resulting in versatile, robust flowers with unique characteristics.
Appearance
- Bloom Shape: Large, open, and slightly trumpet-shaped, blending the elegance of Longiflorum lilies with the star-like quality of Asiatic lilies.
- Size: Flowers are larger than Asiatic lilies, typically 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) across.
- Color: Available in a limited but refined palette, including soft pastels, whites, creams, yellows, pinks, and peach tones.
- Leaves: Narrow, glossy green leaves grow along the sturdy stems, providing a sleek and elegant backdrop to the blooms.
Fragrance
- Mild to Moderate: Unlike fragrance-free Asiatic lilies, L/A hybrids carry a subtle, pleasant scent, though less intense than Oriental lilies or pure Longiflorum varieties.
Growth Characteristics
- Height: 70-80cm
- Bloom Time: Early to mid-summer, slightly later than Asiatic lilies but earlier than Oriental lilies.
- Sturdiness: Strong stems inherited from Asiatic lilies, making them durable in bouquets and resistant to wind in gardens.
Care Tips
- Water: Place stems in fresh water and replace it every 2–3 days.
- Trimming: Recut stems at a 45-degree angle to encourage hydration.
- Pollen: Remove stamens to prevent staining and extend bloom life.
