About Black Beauty Lily (Henryi x Speciosum)

The (Lilium) Black Beauty Lily (Henryi x Speciosum) features 3-inch (7 cm) flowers with striking dark raspberry recurved petals edged with a thin white line, a green star-shaped centre and elongated pale-green stamens. Standing tall on 4-7 foot stems, this Lily certainly demands attention.

An exceptional Oriental hybrid, Black Beauty is a crossbreed of L. henryi and L. speciosum, renown for its strong growth and high bud count. Considered a groundbreaking achievement in botanical history, this garden wonder was created by legendary American lily expert, Leslie Woodriff in 1957.

Come late summer, its 15-40 flowers per stem create a breathtaking show - like a rainstorm of stunning red bells swaying in the breeze. There is only one Black Beauty Lily, and no garden or wild meadow should be without it.

How to Grow Lilium

Planting Lilium

  • Plant in spring after the last frost.
  • Keep bulbs cool until planting and be careful that they do not dry out.
  • Plant these bulbs about 15 cm (6 in) deep because they also grow roots from their stems and 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 in) apart.
  • These bulbs can be planted in full sun to partial shade but prefer “cold feet” (shaded root area, under plant or plant amidst low-growing perennials).
  • Water thoroughly after planting.

Growing Lilium

  • Plant different lily species together for long- lasting colour and fragrance.
  • Grow them where there will be some shade during the hottest part of the day so that flowers will hold their colour.
  • These bulbs can be combined beautifully with all kinds of ferns; another natural spot for them is among shrubs.

Lilium Care

  • Water regularly throughout the growing and flowering period.
  • Keep the plants healthy by removing dead flowers, leaves and stems.
  • These flowers attract hummingbirds and butterflies.

Winterizing Lilium

  • At the end of the season, allow the foliage to turn yellow and die back. After a frost, clip back the stems near ground level and apply a mulch cover to ensure the bulbs make it through the winter months.
  • Hardy in USDA zones 4 to 9.
