Lilium ‘Eyeliner’

Product Details

Aptly named, Lilium ‘Eyeliner’ bears milky white flowers delicately edged in purple-black. The large blooms are semi upward-facing and held on 30–36″ stems that will not fall over in the garden. Developed by a top Lily breeder in Holland, this hybrid between an Asiatic Lily and the Easter Lily (Lilium longiflorum) has beautiful foliage and bulbs that will multiply nicely.

Early-blooming Asiatic Hybrids are a colorful and vigorous group. Colors range from the softest pastels to fiery reds and oranges that practically ignite when the sun hits them. Blooms vary from simple open bowls to exquisitely recurved flowers so delicate you can’t imagine how they can withstand weather. They do, however. They’re as sturdy as young trees with stems that seldom reach above 3′. Because of this, they never need staking. They quickly establish themselves in a sunny, well-drained site and put on a glorious show for years. Superb as cut flowers because of their straight stems and heavy bud count.
