general description: please make sure when buying these bulbs that you don’t buy too small a bulb or they won’t flower, they will only throw green leaves for the first year. These bulbs are a flowering size bulb, dwarf pixie lilies are an excellent choice for pots as they bear small, but very sturdy flowers, but can also be planned as part of a successful summer border display. They are very fragrant. All members of the pixie series were hybridized by the lily breeders at oregon farms in aurora, oregon. Asiatic lilies are probably the most common and easily grown type of hybrid lily. They typically bear clusters of wide-flaring flowers atop strong stems. The upright stems are lined with glossy green, narrow lance-shaped leaves. Asiatic lilies mainly flower in midsummer and are great for cutting. Cultivated for over 5 thousand years lillies are undoubtedly one of the most beloved and treasured of all perennial garden flowers. They are undeniably beautiful. From when they first break the topsoil lilies command attention, the stems with their spirals of fresh clean-cut narrow leaves, lengthen at an almost visible rate and are soon topped by prolific buds that hint of the exotic blooms to come. The splendour of the asiatic species and the hybrids that have developed from them are lush and prolific. The flowers opening into wide, waxen-petalled stars, several crowning each slender fine-leaved stem. Most members of the asiatic family flower in early summer. The blooms are staggered at the heads of slender stems and the petals are curved back upon themselves to show off eye-catching stamens.
