Lilium regale Album (Trumpet Lily)

Appreciated for its intense fragrance, Lilium regale 'Album' is an incredibly popular Lily with huge (6 in. or 15 cm long), glistening pure white trumpets facing outward displaying the golden throat and orange anthers. With up to 25 blossoms per stem it is very similar in form and fragrance to its parent, Lilium regale, but does not exhibit the pink flush to the outside of the petals. On a still evening, nothing can match the sweet fragrance emanating from its abundant blossoms. A must for white borders and for the vase!

• Blooming in early-mid summer, this Lily constitutes an excellent border plant, providing striking color and contrast to the perennial border and mixes beautifully with annuals and other summer flowering bulbs. It is well suited to containers and the cutting garden as it makes excellent fresh cut flowers.
• Growing up to 4-6 feet tall (120-180 cm) on rigid, leafy stems, it performs best in full sun or part shade and is not fussy about soils, provided they are well-drained. Good moisture is required and dry soils should be avoided!
• Plant in spring or fall. Plant in groups of 3 bulbs at a minimum for a striking display! When flowering is over, cut back leaves and stems after they turn yellow.
• Toxic to cats (though not for dogs or any known species)
• These Lilies are members of the Species and cultivars of species Division (IX) which includes all species and their subspecies, varieties and forms, and cultivars selected therefrom (excluding those derived from formosanum, longiflorum, philippinense and wallichianum). There are 9 different types of lilies classified by the Royal Horticultural Society. And they are all real eye-catchers!
