The Asiatic Hybrids

These include the most unpretentious, winter-hardy plants. The flowers of these lilies are odorless and have a wide range of colors. “Asians” are grouped by color and petal painting: brushmark, polychrome (two- and three-color), tango (with dense contrasting speck), Connecticut (speckless).

A dense contrasting speck is characteristic of the "tango" cultivar group. Lily ‘Apicot Pixels’

If the perianth lobes ("petals") of the varieties are decorated with strokes, this is a brushmark (‘Delta’, ‘Loretto’, ‘Baja’).

'Corrida' - a variety with a polychrome flower color In some varieties they are marked with shading ('Centerfold'), have a polychrome - two- or three-color - color ('Corrida', 'Tinos', 'Gran Cru', 'Vermeer'), dense speck ('Apricot Pixel', 'Tropical Breeze', 'White Pixels', 'Wizard').

Variety 'Aelita' - star-shaped flowers

Depending on the variety, Asian hybrids have a turban (‘Citronella’), star-shaped (‘Aelita’), a cup-shaped (‘Paola’) flower shape.

The ‘Citronella’ variety has turbid flowers

Rare specks, elegant turban-shaped flower shape, high growth distinguish the group of lilies L ilium lancifolium, represented by the varieties ‘Sweet Surrender’, ‘Pink Giant’, ‘King Pete’, ‘Red Tiger’, ‘Salmon Tiger’, ‘White Tiger’.

Lilium lancifolium, showy 'Sweet Surrender'

The palette of shades is very wide:

pure white with a greenish core at ‘Apollo’, ‘Sorpresa’, ‘Pulsar’;

‘Apollo’ (Asian hybrids)

yellow, various shades at ‘GoldenFlame’, with a delicate speck at the base ‘Gironde’;

'Gironde' (Asian hybrids)

• ‘KlaasDeJond’s pure orange color;
• ‘Saidja’ tangerine red with fiery reflections;

‘Saidja’ (Asian hybrids)

deep pink with shades of lilac in ‘Paola’;

'Paola' (Asian hybrids)

• red with purple and dark specks in the middle at 'Marrakech';
• ‘BlackOut’ dark red, purple;

‘Black Out’ (Asian hybrids)

the darkest color in the "magical" black-purple ‘Landini’.

‘Landini’ (Asian hybrids)

There are several varieties with double flowers in this group. They are not very popular among flower growers, because with the increase in the number of "petals" the ideal shape is lost, the flower looks sloppy, shaggy (‘Ceres’, ‘Elodie’, ‘Aphrodite’, ‘Fata Morgana’ and others).

Double flowers lose their ideal shape. Variety 'Ceres'

Surprising and unusual is the 'Marlen' lily, whose varietal characteristic is the frequently appearing fasciation, i.e. accretion of several stems into one flattened one, and, accordingly, an extraordinary flowering.

This is what a 'Marlen' fasciaed lily looks like

Asian hybrids are easily propagated by daughter bulbs, scales, bulbs (‘Aelita’, ‘Accent’, ‘Firebird’ and others). They are undemanding to the soil, prefer loose, slightly acidic or neutral. Location - sunny or partial shade.

TOP 10

Point number two, if you remember, argued that lilies need to be chosen so that they are liked and combined with other plants. It is quite difficult to evaluate lilies, since in one garden they may look harmonious, but in another they will not fit into the landscape.

Therefore, it is better to pay attention to such parameters as decorativeness and other characteristics that are different from others, which put the sample above others. Asian hybrids are at the top of the list as they are easy to care for and also reproduce well, increasing the size of the garden.

An Asian lily called Aaron fascinates with its double white flowers. It goes well and looks beautiful against the background of blue flowers.

The Royal Fantasy lily, which belongs to the LA group, has a greenish-yellow hue. Delightful bloom in mid-summer when the later Asiatic lilies bloom. Its height is about 60 cm - not the most massive, so it is perfect for the first or second plan of a flower garden. The petals of the lily are firm, the bunch is dense. Dew drops give a special beauty.

Of the light yellow roses, Everita stands out, which was bred by the breeder A. Krumins from Latvia. The first year of cultivation, it is not particularly beautiful, but after that it reveals all its beauty.

A playful, joyful and sunny mood is set by the yellow lily Morning of freedom, which means "Morning of freedom". It was bred by Lithuanian breeders. The pale orange Donau, which belongs to the LA group, has a softer coloration. It is this plant with a bowl-shaped flower that should be present in the top ten.

The orange color is fiery, and I just want to “dim” it. For a garden, the Kriminaltango lily would be a good option, its petals "wear" dark dots. The varieties Orange Art and Supertango are almost identical. Red lilies are quite whimsical, darker, "solid" lilies grow better. The Judite flower blooms quite late, the heads are directed, which looks quite exquisite, to the side. The plant is tall.

The most famous maroon creatures are Dimension and Night Flye, the latter with smaller flowers. Two colors are perfectly combined in one flower, the beauty of which is unshakable - this is Netty's Pride. It harmoniously combines white and burgundy. Among Asian hybrids, this is perhaps the most spectacular. The flowers resemble a star, attached to the stem on elongated cuttings, therefore, despite the fact that the buds open densely, the bunch does not look compressed.

Pink lilies have a number of disadvantages, so it is difficult to single out one. In some, soft petals quickly crumble, others have a tendency to fade, and still others acquire an unnecessary yellowish tint. But despite these disadvantages, they still do not leave anyone indifferent due to their romantic color. Among them is the Koroleva variety, which amazes with its huge flowers of a spectacular shape and a majestic warehouse.

Lilies replace the flowering of tulips and peonies, they decorate the garden at a time when there is a lack of decorative flowers. Beautiful cultures of various varieties will delight the eye, than will thank the hostess for her love and care.

What is the difference between oriental lilies and Asian lilies?

First of all, oriental and Asian lilies are different in appearance. Oriental lilies have large, almost huge flowers. Asiatic lilies are not as fragrant as oriental lilies.

But in comparison with Asian, their cultivation requires compliance with the conditions of detention. If you do not follow some rules, you will not achieve success.

These hybrids are bred from Japanese relatives growing in the mountains. Therefore, for their cultivation, a special soil composition is required. They also differ from Asian ones in poor frost resistance.It is also necessary to fertilize them according to a special scheme and only with certain minerals.

In addition, these lilies are demanding for proper watering and lighting in the morning. Oriental lilies often suffer from viral diseases, they are too tender compared to their more unpretentious relatives.
