The Asiatic Lily 'Blacklist' stands out with its deep claret blooms and upright, architectural stems. This variety draws the eye immediately, adding a refined presence to any garden. Its strong, tall growth habit and bold colouring offer a striking contrast among summer borders, especially when many other perennials are at their best. For those looking to give their planting schemes a sophisticated edge, 'Blacklist' provides an unusual touch and a sense of depth at the height of the season.
Plant Lilium 'Blacklist' bulbs in autumn, ideally from September to October. This period allows the bulbs to establish roots before winter, supporting vigorous growth and an impressive floral display the following summer.
Set each bulb at a depth of 12-15 cm in well-drained soil. This depth helps protect the bulbs from cold and provides the right conditions for healthy development.
Leave 20-30 cm between bulbs when planting. Adequate spacing ensures good air circulation and gives each plant room to reach its full potential.
'Blacklist' lilies reach 60-90 cm in height, making them ideal for prominent positions in borders and for use in floral arrangements.
This variety flowers in June and July, producing clusters of intensely coloured claret blooms. During this period, the flowers create a dramatic focal point in the garden.
The bulbs are hardy and can remain in the ground through winter. In areas prone to severe frost, a light mulch is recommended for extra protection, but lifting the bulbs is not usually necessary.
Asiatic Lily 'Blacklist' is well suited to mixed borders, group plantings, and floral displays. The blooms are excellent for cutting and hold their colour beautifully in bouquets. Their rich tone pairs well with lighter garden bulbs, adding contrast and definition to planting schemes.
