Trumpet Hybrid Lilies, Aurelian Lilies
Blooming in mid-summer, Trumpet Lilies emit a heavy, sweet fragrance, and their huge waxy trumpet flowers, up to 6-10 in. long (15-25 cm), may be pendant, widely flaring in a shallow bowl shape or be upward facing. Adding distinction and elegance to the garden, their colors vary from pure glistening white to bright gold, yellow, pink, plum, and apricot, with some having dramatic maroon petals on the outside of the trumpet.
Here is a list of favorite fragrant trumpet lilies. Keep them well-watered in a sunny location, and you will be rewarded with weeks of abundant blooms!
