The Hardrock Asiatic lily is a true beauty with shimmering, lofty, deep red flowers. Limited cultivation requirements, winter hardiness, and disease resistance belong to its most important features. Despite their exotic origin, Asian lilies perfectly withstand European climate, showing a very good adaptability. The Hardrock lily, apart from being easy to grow, surprises with long and abundant flowering. Clusters of cup-shaped flowers that consist of six fleshy, pointed petals, tower over the ground on erect, 70 to 120 centimetres tall stems. The parallelly veined, lanceolate, and bright green leaves surround the single shoot. The Asiatic lily of the Hardrock variety will thrive on a flower bed, a showcase place, in a container, and in bouquets.
Plant lilies in fertile, humous-rich soil enriched with compost. Both a sunny site and partial shade suit them well. This species loves mulching, what prevents the bulbs from overheating when planted in full sun. In addition to that, covering the bulb and ground around it also prevents from freezing, and improves soil structure. Water Asiatic lilies regularly, yet moderately. Skip watering in rainy periods. To let those fabulous perennials keep their charm for many years, fertilize them and remove wilted flowers. Asiatic lily bulbs can be planted in spring and autumn.
