Asiatic lily "Purple Eye" (Lilium) stands out with deeply coloured blooms and extremely long blooming period. Up to a dozen flowers appear at the tops of the long stems. These blooms take on deep purple colour that gets darker towards the centre. These plants sprout erect, stiff stems that grow 80-90 cm tall. This variety is a relative early bloomer. The first flowers appear already in June and continue to emerge until August. The "Purple Eye" Asiatic lily constitutes a truly amazing garden decoration and its blooms may be cut and put into vases.
