The Top Recommended Varieties of Lilies

Lily (Lilium 'Star Gazer')

'Stargazer,' though its own clone lily cultivar, has been often synonymous with an oriental lily. Many cultivars are sold as 'Stargazer,' but are not actually the Stargazer clone bred by Leslie Woodriff. Buying this Lily from a reputable grower increases your chances of actually getting the real clone, Stargazer, not just an unnamed oriental lily.

Lily (Lilium lancifolium)

The most resistant lily in the world and also the easiest to grow and propagate. It should be kept away from other lilies because the majority (if not all) of them are infected with viruses.

Lily (Lilium 'Casa Blanca')

Pure white, immaculate form, up to 6 blooms per stem. A dainty vision with pink roses.

Lily (Lilium 'Black Beauty')

This plant seems a bit weak-stemmed and flops in part-sun conditions.

Lily (Lilium 'Conca d'Or')

Not only does this lily have a huge presence and that [i]wow[/i] impact in the garden, it's also very vigorous and tolerant of extremes. My plants suffered heavy frost damage this spring, grew on up through the damaged areas, suffered through high temperatures and severe drought, and still put on a magnificent display! I'll definitely be adding more of these fine plants to my gardens.

Lily (Lilium 'Royal Sunset')

Easy to grow and the bulbs multiply easily and quickly, making it a good one to share with friends. The colors start out vibrant and then fade with age, but are still gorgeous.

Lily (Lilium 'Muscadet')

Beautiful Oriental.

Lily (Lilium 'Lollypop')

I bought a bag of mixed Asiatic lilies and apparently some of them turned out to be Lollypop. It is a very pretty lily with pink and white flowers that multiplies well. This is a lily that should be in every garden.

Lily (Lilium 'Scheherazade')

A very vigorous and elegant lily with a light, sweet fragrance. Color is deep red with golden yellow edges, and the blooms are large and downfacing. My first year stems are 4 feet tall with 3-9 buds. This lily has been inducted into the North American Lily Society Hall of Fame because of its excellent garden qualities and hardiness.

Lily (Lilium 'Landini')

Landini is truely the deepest colored lily bloom I have in my garden. In certain light the color looks almost black.
