Features of caring for hybrid lilies

OT hybrids (between oriental and tubular lilies) scare away those who do not have a relationship with oriental hybrids. And in my collection, already the first varieties from this group in the spring have refuted all fears. After the snow melted, 3 out of 4 ascended under spruce branches, ahead of many Asiatic lilies and LA hybrids. Reasons for success: dry soil for the winter, shallow planting (no deeper than 7 cm), cessation of watering from mid-August, from the same time the film on arcs over the plantings and shelter until frost with a 7-10 cm layer of shavings or leaves, on top - spruce branches and film.

Some hobbyists complain that the lilies from this section do not bloom every year. The main reason is that cutting flowers for bouquets leaves a very short (10-15 cm) "stump". Not receiving sufficient nutrition from the leaves, the bulb leaves in winter weakened and does not bloom the next year. In addition, not everyone covers the plantings with a film from recurrent frosts.

A distinctive feature of OT hybrids is that the bulbs are dark red, dark cherry, reddish brown. They are characterized by high frost resistance, a variety of colors, large flowers (about 30 cm in diameter) and, finally, the smell - it is more delicate, not as suffocating as in tubular ones. The varieties Dallas, Shocking, Orania, Conca d'Or, Robina have another advantage over the eastern ones - they prefer a soil with less acidity, do not get sick with fusarium, and botrytis is not observed.

OA-hybrids are still few, they do not differ in a variety of colors - orange-red with bronze, yellow, white borders: Fest Crown, Elegant, etc.

LO hybrids turned out to be no worse than those previously described. What is the Triumphant variety worth (this spring it made me happy, sprouted simultaneously with the first Asian lilies that appeared)! Worthy of admiration are the varieties Wile Treasure, Sea Treasure, Queen Promis, Prince Promis.

LOO-hybrids are the latest in breeding. They sprout together with the last dino-flowered and oriental ones. But the flowers are huge "plafonds" up to 40 cm in diameter! The whites are very good: Bourbon Diamond and Misting Diamond. They need to be covered with a thicker layer of mulching materials - 20-30 cm and protected from return frost with a film.

So, dry soil in the fall, non-buried planting, shelter with mulching materials for the winter make it possible to contemplate these beautiful flowers in the middle lane. And many of them bloom in more northern latitudes - Karelia, Murmansk and Arkhangelsk regions, beyond the Urals and Baikal.

Selecting varieties with different flowering times will expand the flowering range of lilies in your garden from July to mid-September. However, keep in mind that at least a month must pass from flowering to ripening of the bulbs, otherwise they will go weakened in winter, and the probability of overwintering will sharply decrease, and they may not bloom.

Tree lily plants

Naturally, these are not trees. These lilies do not have a trunk, which is woody, and in the southern regions they generally die in the winter season. So why then tree-like? They are connected with a tree only by a huge growth, which flowers do not have. In the Ural and Moscow region, plants may not grow to 2.5 m, even if you take care of them too much.Flowers can reach this height only in the south of our homeland.
In middle latitudes, lilies grow up to 1.5-1.7 m, which is also very good.

Moreover, special agricultural technology is not needed, and plus the plants have excellent winter tolerance.
Some tubular varieties can also grow to the size of a giant.

Varieties: Debbie, Labrador, Manissa, Purple Prince, Sucinto, Empoli.

Varieties.

1. LA - hybrids (abbreviation of the name from longiflorum asiatic) - hybrids resulting from the crossing of Asiatic and long-flowered lilies. Their fragrant flowers are larger (18-25 cm in diameter) than those of Asiatic lilies, while the petals and peduncles are less fragile. The color of flowers can be very varied and unusual: from snow-white to purple-burgundy, with all sorts of shade transitions. And some varieties of lilies from group of LA hybrids and can altogether change the color of flowers depending on age.

In addition, LA hybrids are unpretentious in cultivation, they reproduce easily.

Large and beautiful LA hybrids are versatile in use. They perfectly decorate gardens and parks, are easy to distill and look great when cut (do not fade for 10-14 days).

The most persistent and effective varieties from the LA hybrids group:

Top Gun, Samur - pink flowers with a white center;
Indian Diamond, Daytona - orange flowers;
Fray, Golden State - yellow flowers;
Original Live - red flowers;

Bright Diamond - white flowers

Top Gun, Samur

2. OT - hybrids, or orientpets

Black Beauty

(short for oriental trumpet) - hybrids resulting from the crossing of oriental and tubular lilies. First grade (Black Beauty). This lily grows up to 2 m in height and on one sturdy stem can withstand many large (20-25 cm in diameter) fragrant flowers of dark cherry color. The spectacular Black Beauty lily is still grown in many countries, and it seems that she does not intend to give up positions. Lilies of this group are also distinguished by a huge variety of flower colors, they grow well, many of them reproduce easily (they share themselves and grow many children) and winter well in the middle lane with light shelter. Ot-hybrids get sick less often than lilies of other groups, but sometimes they are affected by a viral mosaic.

Popular varieties from the group of OT hybrids:

Sheherazade - dark red flowers with a white-yellowish edge and a white-green throat;
Georgetta - yellow flowers
Honeymoon - pale yellow flowers
Northern Carillon - large drooping flowers of a beet-purple tone with a white or pink border;
Yelloween - light yellow flowers with white edges of the petals;
Shocking - bright red flowers with a wide yellow border.

Northern carillon
Kaveri

3. OA - hybrids. There are few varieties in this group due to the difficulties of hybridization. OA hybrids took their beauty from orientals (although they have a smaller flower - only 15 cm in diameter), and their resistance - from Asians, so they can grow well in the middle lane. Bloom in late July - August. But it is worth noting the Kaveri variety, in which the raspberry color of the center turns to red-orange, and at the tips it becomes amber-yellow.

4. LO - hybrids or longipets. They are distinguished by rather large fragrant funnel-shaped flowers, white or pink in color. The group is rather small.

Most often, several varieties of LO are grown - hybrids:

Triumphator;
Prince Promise;
Queen's Promise;
Sea Treasure.

Varieties of lilies with names: the main international classification of lilies

At the end of the 20th century, the total number of lily varieties numbered ten thousand, another 200-300 varieties are added annually. How are new species obtained? Hybrids are crossed with each other or with pure varieties. Since lilies had and have strong differences with each other in how to care for them and for other reasons, in the middle of the 20th century they adopted the international classification of lilies, with some amendments that have come down to us.

Classification.
Asian hybrid varieties.
Curly lilies.
Snow white varieties.
American varieties.
Long-flowered lilies.
Tubular and Orleans varieties.
Oriental lilies.
Interspecific hybrid varieties.
Wild lilies.
The rest are hybrid varieties.

Flower growers often come up with their own classifications. Common classifications: by color of flowers, by the growth of stems, by the structure of the flower (there is terry or not), there is a scent or not, by resistance to frost, by the ways of reproduction.
