Everyone knows this flower; it can be seen everywhere in flower markets and flower shops, and it is often used as a cut flower and in floral arrangements. It is the most widely used cut flower in the world: the lily. What fewer people know is that lilies can also be grown in pots for ornament, and they are very easy to grow. Keep a few at home, and you no longer need to spend money buying them at the flower shop.
Oriental lily
There are many varieties of lily. Today we introduce the Oriental lily. The Oriental lily was bred by crossing species such as Lilium auratum, Lilium japonicum, Lilium speciosum, and Lilium henryi. Its flowers are large, with a diameter of up to 15 cm, and its colors are brilliant. It is a mainstream product in the international flower market and ranks first or second in sales in China's cut flower market, and is deeply loved by people.
Beautiful and fragrant
Oriental lily flowers are mostly trumpet-shaped, with rich colors including white, pink, light pink, and light yellow. They have a special fragrance that is very strong; when they bloom on a balcony, they can fill the whole house with scent. The natural flowering period runs from May to late August, blooming continuously for more than 3 months, and under artificial cultivation it can bloom in all four seasons.
Easy care
The Oriental lily is a perennial bulbous flower and is very vigorous. Grown from bulbs, it is very easy to keep alive and will grow naturally almost as soon as it is dropped into soil, with no special care needed, making it very low-maintenance. It grows only 30-60 cm tall, so it can be planted in a very small pot, takes up little space, and can be grown indoors too.
When the flowers bloom, the whole room is filled with fragrance
The Oriental lily is also very cold-hardy and can be grown outdoors through winter even in northern China, but it is even more suitable for indoor potted ornament. Grown in a greenhouse, it generally blooms about 60 days after planting. Placed at home, it is both ornamental and air-freshening; you can enjoy the flowers and smell the fragrance, so it is worth getting.
