The Tiny Lily Series is a compact, dwarf Asiatic lily collection, known for its bright, upward-facing blooms, sturdy stems, and early summer flowering. These hardy, low-maintenance perennials reach only 12-16 inches tall, making them perfect for borders, containers, rock gardens, and small spaces. With a wide range of colors, Tiny Lilies provide long-lasting color and excellent cut flowers while being drought-resistant and easy to grow.

Planting & Growing Conditions

  • Hardiness Zone: 3-9 (cold-hardy and suitable for prairie gardens)
  • Mature Size: 12-16 inches tall, 10-14 inches wide
  • Growth Rate: Fast
  • Sunlight Needs:
    • Full sun to partial shade (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for best flowering)
  • Soil Requirements:
    • Prefers well-drained, fertile soil
    • Slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0)
    • Avoid heavy clay or overly wet soil, which can cause bulb rot
  • Spacing: 10-12 inches apart for compact growth

Watering & Maintenance

  • Young Plants (First Year):
    • Water deeply 1-2 times per week until roots establish
  • Established Plants:
    • Water moderately, keeping soil moist but not soggy
    • Reduce watering after blooming to allow bulbs to harden
  • Mulching:
    • Apply a 1-2 inch layer of mulch to retain moisture and protect roots

Fertilizing

  • First Year: No fertilizer needed—use organic compost at planting
  • Mature Plants:
    • Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) in early spring
    • A second feeding after flowering strengthens bulbs for the next season
    • Avoid excess nitrogen, which promotes foliage growth over blooms

Pruning & Maintenance

  • Best Time to Prune: After blooming (late summer to fall)
  • How to Prune:
    • Deadhead spent flowers to prevent seed formation (redirects energy to the bulb)
    • Allow foliage to naturally die back, as it feeds the bulb for next year’s blooms
    • Cut back dead stalks in fall for a tidy garden

Flowers, Foliage & Seasonal Interest

  • Bloom Time: Early to mid-summer (June-July)
  • Flower Colors:
    • Wide variety of colors, including red, orange, yellow, pink, and bi-color blooms
    • Upward-facing flowers, making them excellent for container displays
  • Fragrance: Mild to none (unlike Oriental lilies, Asiatic lilies are not heavily scented)
  • Foliage:
    • Dark green, lance-shaped leaves
    • Compact, clump-forming habit—ideal for small gardens

Pest & Disease Management

Resistant to: Deer, rabbits, and most common pests

Common Pests:

  • Lily Beetles – Red beetles that chew leaves
    • Solution: Handpick or apply neem oil
  • Aphids – Can cause curling leaves
    • Solution: Spray with insecticidal soap

Common Diseases:

  • Botrytis Blight (Fungal Leaf Spot) – Brown spots on leaves
    • Solution: Improve airflow, avoid overhead watering, apply fungicide if needed
  • Bulb Rot – Caused by wet, poorly drained soil
    • Solution: Ensure well-drained soil and avoid overwatering

Winter Protection

  • Cold-hardy to Zone 3no special protection needed in most climates
  • Mulching:
    • Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch in late fall to protect bulbs from extreme temperature changes
  • Container-Grown Lilies:
    • Move pots to a sheltered area or unheated garage in winter to prevent bulbs from freezing solid

Landscape Uses

Perfect for borders, edging, and rock gardens
Excellent for container gardens and patios
Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established
Great as cut flowers—long vase life
Ideal for mass plantings and small-space gardening

COOL Pillowcases Worth Buying
Color: Champagne, Size: Queen
I bought these to try out, and I was shocked to find they worked out better than my silk pillowcases. I have atopic dermatitis, and I need a pillowcase that doesn't irritate my skin. I also am having hot flashes and need something cool on my face. These pillowcases are perfect for both my conditions. I plan to buy more in different colors. My sons and husband also like it since they are always hot.
