1. Lilium 'Eastern Moon': The Lilium 'Eastern Moon' is known for its enchanting, moon-like flowers. With creamy white petals that gently curve outward, this lily gives a feeling of serenity.

3. Lilium 'Guinea Gold': The Lilium 'Guinea Gold' is a beautiful lily with warm, golden petals that radiate a radiant glow. This species adds a sunny atmosphere to gardens and borders. The flowers of 'Guinea Gold' are often subtly scented and attract the attention not only of people, but also of pollinating insects.

Care of the Liliums

Growing and caring for lilies requires attention to detail and care, but with the right steps you can enjoy beautiful blooms in your garden. Here are some helpful tips for growing and caring for lilies:

1. Select the right location: Lilies thrive in well-drained soil and need at least six hours of direct sunlight per day.
2. Planting Time and Depth: Plant lily bulbs in the fall for early spring or summer blooms. Dig a hole two to three times deeper than the height of the bulb and place the bulb with the point up.
3. Watering: Water the lilies regularly, especially during dry periods. Avoid allowing the soil to be constantly soaked, as lily bulbs are susceptible to rot in damp conditions.
4. Stem Support: Use plant supports to support the long, slender stems of lilies, especially if they bear heavy blooms.
5. Wintering: Cover the lily beds with a layer of mulch to protect the bulbs from severe frost.
