Botanical name: Lilium sp. (Oriental type)

Description: This is one of those classics that never gets old! You'll forever be in love with the pink speckled petals that form huge trumpets with a remarkable fragrance. Grow in pots, or enjoy as a reliable hardy perennial in zone 3 and up. 

Directions: Oriental lily bulbs can be planted indoors up to six weeks before your local average last frost date, or directly planted to beds or raised gardens outdoors once all chance of frost has past. Plant in well draining potting mix or garden soil (outdoors), setting the bulbs pointy-side up at a depth three times the height of the bulb. If starting indoors, keep the potted lilies in a bright, warm location and water deeply as the soil dries out.
