About Casa Blanca Oriental Lily

The Casa Blanca Lily (Lilium) is perhaps the most perfect of all the large Oriental Lilies. The huge flowers have pure, milky-white petals and contrasting burnt-orange anthers, earning it the prestigious Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit.

Blooming later in the season than most Lilies, each 4-foot stem bears up to 8 impressive 12-inch (30 cm) flowers. Oriental Lilies, characterized by their sweeping petals that arch backward towards the stem, feature elongated, striking stamens, and a wonderfully sweet fragrance. They look stunning in garden beds, containers, make excellent fresh cut flowers and are beloved by bees and butterflies! Try planting a "moon garden" and watch these lilies glow in the moonlight!

For an extended vase life, cut Lilies when the bulb shows colouration and begins to open. Trimming off the anthers at the ends of stamens prevents tablecloth staining.

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.
