Asiatic group

'Chianti' is beloved by gardeners for its silk like sheen & delicate shell pink coloration. Useful as a mid border plant or in containers it rises to an approximater height of 2 feet with strong, deep green stems. An excellent variety both for the garden & as a cut flower for the home.

All Asiatic forms are fully hardy from zones 4 to 8 & prefer a well drained site in full sun. They multiply rapidly making them excellent for filling borders. Flowering from June through July the stems should be cut back once they have become yellow to a height of three inches.

Planting should be to a depth of 6 inches with a spacing of 12 to 16 inches apart. Once you have replaced the soil water your bulbs well to avoid air pockets. Lilies make a particuarly nice show when planted in wedge shapes of three or more (odd numbers) of bulbs.

5 bulbs per pack.
