Overview Common Name: trumpet lily Type: Bulb Family: Liliaceae Zone: 4-8 Height: 2-6 feet Spread: 1-2 feet Bloom Time: July to August Bloom Description: light to dark pink Sun: Full sun to part shade Water: Medium Maintenance: Low Flower: Showy, Fragrant Culture Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Prefers rich, organic soils. Best with upper plant in full sun and roots in shade. Mulch around plants to keep root zone cool. Plant seeds 4-6” deep in fall or very early spring. Potted plants may be planted any time from spring to fall. Plant in groups of three for best display and space 12” apart. Bulbs need good even moisture year-round. Do not allow soil to dry out. Too much moisture, however, may lead to bulb rot. Remove flowers as they fade to prevent seed from setting. After bloom, cut plants back only after leaves and stems turn yellow. Taller plants may need staking. Noteworthy Characteristics Lilium is a genus of about 100 species of bulbous, herbaceous perennials native to Europe, North America and Asia south to the Philippines. Lilies typically feature 6-tepaled flowers in a variety of shapes (trumpet, funnel, cup, bell, bowl or flat), sometimes nodding, sometimes with reflexed petals, atop stiff, unbranched stems (1-8′ tall) clothed with linear to elliptic leaves. Flowers are often fragrant and come in a broad range of colors except blue. For classification purposes, the Royal Horticultural Society and North American Lily Society have organized hybrid lilies into eight divisions based primarily upon parentage, habit and flower type. Trumpet lilies feature trumpet-shaped, amethyst pink flowers. It is a hybrid lily and typically grows 2-6’ tall, but sometimes to as much as 9’ tall, once well-established. Flowers are fragrant. Flowers bloom in mid summer. Good fresh cut flower. Potential Problems Lily leaf beetles can be problematic in certain areas. Potential diseases include lily mosaic virus (prompt control of aphids which vector the disease is highly recommended, since there is no cure once infection occurs), bulb rot (particularly in wet, poorly drained soils), and botrytis. Plants may need staking if grown in too much shade (stems weaken) or in locations exposed to strong winds. Uses An excellent, showy flower that provides color and contrast in summer to the perennial border. Plant in groups. Also grows well in pots, but flowers will be somewhat smaller. Suitable for use as cut flowers in fresh arrangements.
