Lilium 'Bright Diamond' (Longiflorum-Asiatic Lily)

Lily 'Bright Diamond', LA Hybrid Lily, Longiflorum-Asiatic Lily


Noted for its elegance, Lilium 'Bright Diamond' (Longiflorum-Asiatic Lily) is a vigorous bulbous perennial with large, fragrant, pure white flowers with lime-green throats. Blooming in early to mid-summer, the satiny flowers are adorned with a bouquet of prominent stamens, adding further appeal. The blossoms are borne on sturdy, erect stems bearing lance-shaped, spirally-arranged, glossy, dark green leaves. This Lily is 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.

  • Grows up to 30-42 in. tall (75-105 cm) and 12 in. wide (30 cm).
  • Performs best in full sun or part shade in well-drained soils, enriched with leaf mold or well-rotted organic matter. Best in sun with some shade at the base of the plant.
  • A great choice for beds and borders, city gardens, cottage gardens, and containers. Excellent fresh-cut flowers. Plant in groups of 3, 6, or 12 bulbs for a striking display.
  • Keep an eye out for lily beetle, aphids, slugs, vine weevil, and gray molds.
  • Toxic to cats (though not for dogs or any known species).
  • Deadhead the faded blooms. When flowering is over, cut back leaves and stems after they turn yellow.
  • Propagate by offsets after the foliage dies down.
  • Plant in fall or early spring in the garden. Potted plants may be planted at any time between spring and fall. Plant each bulb 6-8 in. deep (15-20 cm) and 8-10 in. apart (20-25 cm).
  • This Lily is a member of the Other Hybrids Division (VIII) which includes all interdivisional hybrids, such as Longiflorum/Asiatic (LA) hybrids, Longiflorum/Oriental (LO) hybrids, Oriental/Asiatic (OA) hybrids, and Oriental/Trumpet hybrids (Orienpets or OT hybrids). There are 9 different types of lilies classified by the Royal Horticultural Society. And they are all real eye-catchers!
