Landini Lily is a dramatic, deep burgundy Asiatic lily that appears almost black in certain lighting. This early summer bloomer is prized for its bold color, easy maintenance, and striking visual impact in borders, containers, and mixed flower beds. It thrives in full sun, well-drained soil, and requires minimal care, making it an excellent choice for prairie and temperate gardens.

Planting & Growing Conditions

  • Hardiness Zone: 4-8 (cold-hardy but may need mulch protection in colder climates)
  • Mature Size: 3-4 feet tall, 12-18 inches wide
  • Growth Rate: Fast
  • Sunlight Needs:
    • Full sun to partial shade (best flowering in at least 6 hours of direct sun)
    • Prefers shaded roots with sun on the flowers (planting among low perennials can help)
  • Soil Requirements:
    • Prefers well-drained, loamy, or sandy soil
    • Enriched with compost or organic matter for best growth
    • Avoid wet, heavy clay soils, which can cause bulb rot
  • Spacing: 8-12 inches apart for optimal air circulation

Watering & Maintenance

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

Fertilizing

  • First Year: No fertilizer needed at planting—mix compost or organic matter into the soil
  • Mature Plants:
    • Apply a slow-release balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) in early spring
    • A second feeding after flowering strengthens the bulbs for next year’s bloom
    • Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, which encourage excessive leafy growth over flowers

Pruning & Maintenance

  • Best Time to Prune: After flowering (late summer to early fall)
  • How to Prune:
    • Remove spent flowers to prevent seed formation (redirects energy to the bulb)
    • Allow stems and leaves to naturally die back—this helps store energy in the bulb
    • Cut back dead foliage in fall to maintain garden tidiness

Flowers, Foliage & Seasonal Interest

  • Bloom Time: Early to mid-summer (June-July)
  • Flower Color:
    • Dark burgundy to almost black, satiny flowers
    • 6-8 inches wide, upward-facing blooms
  • Fragrance: Mild to none (not as fragrant as Oriental lilies)
  • Foliage:
    • Glossy green, lance-shaped leaves
    • Clump-forming habit, making it ideal for mass plantings

Pest & Disease Management

Resistant to: Deer, drought, and most common pests

Common Pests:

  • Lily Beetles – Red beetles that chew leaves
    • Solution: Handpick or use neem oil
  • Aphids – Can cause leaf curling and transmit viruses
    • Solution: Spray with insecticidal soap

Common Diseases:

  • Botrytis Blight (Fungal Leaf Spot) – Causes brown spots on leaves
    • Solution: Improve airflow, avoid overhead watering, apply fungicide if needed
  • Bulb Rot – Caused by overly wet conditions
    • Solution: Ensure good drainage and avoid overwatering

Winter Protection

  • Cold-hardy in Zones 4-8, but mulch heavily in colder regions (Zones 3-4)
  • Mulching:
    • Apply 2-4 inches of mulch in late fall to protect bulbs from freeze-thaw cycles
  • Container-Grown Lilies:
    • Move pots to a sheltered area or unheated garage to prevent deep freezing

Landscape Uses

Perfect for dramatic borders, cottage gardens, and mixed perennial beds
Excellent as a cut flower—long vase life and unique dark tones
Thrives in containers for patios or decks
Attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies
Deer-resistant and drought-tolerant once established

Companion Planting Ideas for Landini Lily:

  • White Asiatic Lilies – Creates a stunning contrast
  • Salvia & Russian Sage – Adds a blue-purple complement to dark blooms
  • Ornamental Grasses – Provides texture and movement
  • Hostas & FernsShade the roots while allowing blooms to shine
  • Daylilies & Echinacea – Extends the color season in summer beds

Additional Notes:

  • Lifespan: 5+ years with proper care
  • Easiest propagation method: Division of bulbs every 3-4 years
  • Highly recommended for beginner gardeners due to its resilience and adaptability

Not a bad start
Format: Kindle
3 stars Thank you Netgalley and Briar Boleyn for the ARC! A camelot/king Arthur retelling with fae. I was hooked by the idea of this book immediately and was eager to jump into this world. • slow burn • enemies to lovers • who did this to you Morgan Pendragon watched her mother die by her father's hand when she was just eight years old, hiding under the bed. Morgan is believed to have the tainted blood of the fae in her veins and is cast aside so that her fathers illegitimate son, Arthur, can become the king. She's seen his cruel treatment of the fae firsthand, so when he sends her on a journey to find a fae weapon she seizes the opportunity to do more with her life. Along the way, she finds more than she could have imagined. I don't know a whole lot about King Arthur and Camelot but I had a lot of fun with this story! The plot has some similar tropes to popular romantasy books (From blood and ash) but there's enough originality here that it doesn't feel like I'm reading a copy. I liked how the fae were different in appearance than what is typical in most fantasy books I've read. In this book they have blue hair, violet skin and a wide range of other characteristics. I thought that the world building was easy to follow and I could easily immerse myself into this world. After reading the blurb I kept wondering when she was going to go on the journey to find Excalibur and it doesn't happen until around the 45% mark. The story is a bit slow at times but starts to pick up once they begin their journey to find Excalibur. The John Wick style Inn was a fun concept that I enjoyed reading about. There are a lot of similarities to this and FBAA and I would have liked to have it be a little more different, but I'm hoping book two will have the story turn into something of its own. Overall I enjoyed reading this story and I'm looking forward to reading book two especially after that ending.

Fallen Angels, fae, vampires, oh my!
Format: Kindle
Rating: 4.5 | Spice: 2 (but a good slow-burn) • Main Characters: Huntyr and Wolf • I couldn’t wait to read this book; there was so much hype about it! And there was no doubt why. I fell in love with the characters and the plot itself. This book is mainly plot driven more than friction driven but it’s easy to follow along with. The characters are fun, easily understood. The main setting is at an academy where both the main characters are going through trials and building strength for the final test, The Transcendent. There are fantastic side characters as well. I loved the camaraderie between Huntyr and her friends. But we don’t like Lanson. 😆 We do have some plot twists that come into play throughout the book. Secrets and betrayal to be seen. I did adore Wolf and Huntyr’s relationship. It was a classic slow burn trope. They didn’t hit it off fast, but in time their feelings grew. I loved their banter, so sexy. Wolf is your next book boyfriend; Huntyr is your next vampire assassin independent bad-a*s female. Themes include loyalty, trust, self-discovery, a true slow burn romance. Side note: book ends on a angsty cliffhanger! • Emily, thank you for writing this awesome novel and I cannot wait to devour Book 2, Blood So Brutal! 😍 • Happy reading, my lovelies! xo

“My heart bows to you and you only, Huntress.”
Format: Kindle
3.5 🌟 This book popped up in my KU recommended reading suggestions and the synopsis sounded like what I was in the mood for. I'm so glad I took a chance on it. I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about it and ended up really liking it. I love when this happens. The main characters are likeable and I easily found myself rooting for them. There is a mystery element to each of their backstories that I enjoyed watching unfold and can't wait to get more of. Wolf, in particular, has me fixated. Love him. I found this to be an entertaining, addictive read with a plot that moves along at a good pace. It reads so easily I found myself very reluctant to put it down. Lots of twists and turns and the angst is there. A good set up for the next book to come, for sure. My issues with this book....the dialogue feels a bit juvenile at times and there is a repetitive over use of a particular word phrasing that I found myself giving the ole eye-roll to. There are, without a doubt, some pretty cliche moments that gave me a bit of the cringe. I think this could've certainly 100% benefited from more depth regarding the world building. Perhaps the world building was sacrificed to keep the pacing quick? Just a guess. Also, the lack of consistency of character for the FMC was really evident and so she feels quite illogical at times. Overall, this was a fun and enjoyable read that hit the spot well enough for me. That ending certainly has me impatiently pining for book 2!

Interesting take on the genre
Format: Kindle
True rating: 3.25 ⭐️ I enjoyed the fresh take on the genre. The best way I could describe the setting and world is an apocalyptic dystopian version of Farie where vampires, fae, and angles struggle to survive in what is left of the world. It was definitely interesting throwing the academy/hunger games aspect into this world as well. Even though I guessed the final reveal early on in the book, I kept hoping I was wrong, and it would take a surprising turn. While the "plot twists" were a bit predictable to me, I still enjoyed the ride this book took me on. Another downfall for me was the plot holes in the world building... I.E. if society has fallen and the world is in the aftermath of war, how are there trains running around the world? Just to take young adults to the trials to get into the golden city? How is the train maintained, the tracks clear, etc? However, I did enjoy the FMC & MMC and thought they were fleshed out nicely. I also enjoyed the side characters but wish some were developed more like Ashalin (sp?). I do find myself rooting for the MCs to succeed and find happiness together, which is obviously an important aspect for romantasy. Overall, was this an earth-shattering, mind-bending, terrific piece of literature? No. But was it the worst thing I've read this year? Also, no. This book has, to me, the bones of a great read & just needs a bit more to push it from an alright book to a great book. Overall ratings: Plot- 3.5⭐️ World building 3⭐️ Spice 2.5 🌶🌶 Main characters 4 ⭐️ Supporting characters 3.5⭐️

great book
Format: Kindle
I am really excited to meet the author at the book retreat this month. I really enjoyed this world that she built and most of the female main character Huntress is so awesome. She goes through a lot in this book and the ending; wow! I wouldn't have even guessed. I highly recommend everyone to read this book. I have been so lucky this year that almost all the books I have read have been, so far, 5 out 5 stars.
