Lily, Asiatic 'Hi-De-Ho'

Sun Exposure: full sun, partial shade Flower Color: cream Level of Care: average

Deep plum brushmarks on ivory-buff, upfacing flowers. Dark stems and blue-green foliage, 'Hi-de-Ho' is as stunning in terra cotta pots as it is in the open garden. Blooms in late June. The first to flower each season, Asiatic lilies come in a wide range of colors -- white, yellow, orange, red, pink and all shades and color combinations, except the color blue. Flowers are mostly upfacing with a few dainty garden gems carrying outfacing or pendant blooms, and all will be exciting when the buds unfurl. These hybrids multiply rapidly and bloom over a long season. The Asiatics are the hardiest of all the lilium hybrids. They do best in Zones 3 to 10. These varieties are the easiest for the beginner and multiply the fastest in the garden. Plant 4-6 inches deep, according to size.
