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.
• Light: Thrive in full sun to partial shade.
