'LENTELLA' LA Lily (Lilium x 'lentella')

'Lentella' LA Lily is a favorite for gardeners looking for an appealing yellow garden lily. This selection blends a plethora of 10" trumpet-shaped flowers crowning a robust 40" stem. 'Lentella' even retains the perfume of its longiflorum parent. This is a hard-to-beat lily and not one to be overlooked.

LA Lilies are a hybrid between the trumpet lily and the Asiatic lily. Blending the best gardening traits from both parents, LA Lilies have some of the biggest, boldest blossoms and are amongst the easiest to grow. With their upward facing flowers, they bloom early to mid-summer. Hardy in Zones 4 to 9, LA lilies come in pure white, pink, vivid-yellow, orange, and red. Intense breeding has toned down much of the classic fragrance, but in spite of their more subtle perfume, they are a favorite with floral arrangers and gardeners alike.

Known for their dazzling blossoms, the garden lily is an essential part of any summer garden. We only carry these voluptuous beauties for a short time in the spring and fall as they prefer to be in the ground and not on the store shelf. The living bulbs are perishable if not stored properly and when they are ready to sprout, there is no stopping them! If you happen to miss your opportunity at planting the bulbs for yourself, standby and catch our cut-flowers later in the summer.
