Easy to Grow Bulbs Lilium Orienpet Lily Flavia

Orienpet lilies are a hybrid cross between Oriental and Trumpet lilies. They are bred to combine the intense fragrance and large flower size of Oriental lilies with the structural strength, heat tolerance, and vigor of Trumpet lilies.

You can expect this variety to reach a mature height of 48 to 60 inches. Because they grow quite tall, they are best suited for the back of a garden border where they won't shade out smaller plants.

Flavia lilies thrive in full sun to partial sun. While they can handle some shade, providing at least six hours of direct sunlight daily will ensure the strongest stems and the most vibrant flower color.

Yes, they are excellent for cut flower arrangements. Their upward-facing blooms and long, sturdy stems make them easy to display in vases, and their pleasant fragrance will scent an entire room.

Plant the bulbs 6 inches deep and space them 12 to 18 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation. Ensure the soil is well-draining, as lilies do not like to sit in waterlogged earth.

The Flavia lily is hardy in zones 5 through 9. If you live in a region with colder winters, consider adding a layer of mulch over the planting site in late autumn to protect the bulbs from extreme freezing temperatures.
