The Tiny Lily Series is a compact, dwarf Asiatic lily collection, known for its bright, upward-facing blooms, sturdy stems, and early summer flowering. These hardy, low-maintenance perennials reach only 12-16 inches tall, making them perfect for borders, containers, rock gardens, and small spaces. With a wide range of colors, Tiny Lilies provide long-lasting color and excellent cut flowers while being drought-resistant and easy to grow.

Planting & Growing Conditions

  • Hardiness Zone: 3-9 (cold-hardy and suitable for prairie gardens)
  • Mature Size: 12-16 inches tall, 10-14 inches wide
  • Growth Rate: Fast
  • Sunlight Needs:
    • Full sun to partial shade (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for best flowering)
  • Soil Requirements:
    • Prefers well-drained, fertile soil
    • Slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0)
    • Avoid heavy clay or overly wet soil, which can cause bulb rot
  • Spacing: 10-12 inches apart for compact growth

Watering & Maintenance

  • Young Plants (First Year):
    • Water deeply 1-2 times per week until roots establish
  • Established Plants:
    • Water moderately, keeping soil moist but not soggy
    • Reduce watering after blooming to allow bulbs to harden
  • Mulching:
    • Apply a 1-2 inch layer of mulch to retain moisture and protect roots

Fertilizing

  • First Year: No fertilizer needed—use organic compost at planting
  • Mature Plants:
    • Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) in early spring
    • A second feeding after flowering strengthens bulbs for the next season
    • Avoid excess nitrogen, which promotes foliage growth over blooms

Pruning & Maintenance

  • Best Time to Prune: After blooming (late summer to fall)
  • How to Prune:
    • Deadhead spent flowers to prevent seed formation (redirects energy to the bulb)
    • Allow foliage to naturally die back, as it feeds the bulb for next year’s blooms
    • Cut back dead stalks in fall for a tidy garden

Flowers, Foliage & Seasonal Interest

  • Bloom Time: Early to mid-summer (June-July)
  • Flower Colors:
    • Wide variety of colors, including red, orange, yellow, pink, and bi-color blooms
    • Upward-facing flowers, making them excellent for container displays
  • Fragrance: Mild to none (unlike Oriental lilies, Asiatic lilies are not heavily scented)
  • Foliage:
    • Dark green, lance-shaped leaves
    • Compact, clump-forming habit—ideal for small gardens

Pest & Disease Management

Resistant to: Deer, rabbits, and most common pests

Common Pests:

  • Lily Beetles – Red beetles that chew leaves
    • Solution: Handpick or apply neem oil
  • Aphids – Can cause curling leaves
    • Solution: Spray with insecticidal soap

Common Diseases:

  • Botrytis Blight (Fungal Leaf Spot) – Brown spots on leaves
    • Solution: Improve airflow, avoid overhead watering, apply fungicide if needed
  • Bulb Rot – Caused by wet, poorly drained soil
    • Solution: Ensure well-drained soil and avoid overwatering

Winter Protection

  • Cold-hardy to Zone 3no special protection needed in most climates
  • Mulching:
    • Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch in late fall to protect bulbs from extreme temperature changes
  • Container-Grown Lilies:
    • Move pots to a sheltered area or unheated garage in winter to prevent bulbs from freezing solid

Landscape Uses

Perfect for borders, edging, and rock gardens
Excellent for container gardens and patios
Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established
Great as cut flowers—long vase life
Ideal for mass plantings and small-space gardening

  3. ‘Tiny Ghost’ – Dark burgundy-purple flowers

  • Sedum & Creeping Phlox – Provides low-growing foliage to cover soil around lilies
  • Dwarf Ornamental Grasses – Adds texture and movement
  • Hostas & Ferns – Offers shade for the bulbs while adding lush greenery

Buy these immediately!!!!!
Size: 3X, Color: (001) Black / / White
I was so happy to find a name brand pair of sweatpants in my size. When I ordered them, I thought I shouldn’t have wasted my money as I would probably have to return them. I was SO IMPRESSED!!! I tried them on and they fit like a glove. A little room to spare but I was so happy to have a nice pair of sweatpants. They are so comfy and warm. I got them on sale and they were a steal. I would have paid so much more buying them online or at a store. Thank you for having bigger sizes and clothes that are true to size. I love the way they look on me and fit!!! My new favorite pair of sweatpants and I even bought another pair. I now have two pairs in black. The sweatpants kept me warm on a cold day outside and just comfy enough without being too warm inside. The weight of the sweatpants is perfect.

Delayed delivery otherwise ok

Seems of good quality so far. Very comfortable. Fits well and doesn't look baggy. Took away a star because it was delivered over a month after purchase
