An electrifying display piece for a large container, the middle of a bed, or the garden border, Red Twin® Asiatic Lily boasts 7-inch blooms in an alluring deep red tinged with orange. And that's just the outer bloom. Inside of the that is a smaller inner bloom with the same uniform structure, just in miniature. What an eye-catching display.

The coral-red blooms open from late June to midsummer, with up to 12 flowers coming from every bulb. Each of these flowers is enormous, long-lasting and sun-tolerant, with waxy petals that keep their elegant shape. The blooms are, of course, double, with a charming ring of petite inner petals around the center.

Like other lilies, this showy beauty is a boon in any garden. Red Twin® Asiatic Lily bulbs are easy to grow, requiring very little maintenance to reach its full height. Like many lilies, it appreciates cool soil. Mulch it in heavily or, better yet, plant a groundcover at its feet to hide those legs. Daylilies, coreopsis, creeping phlox, and so many more make a lovely cover-up.

Give Red Twin® Asiatic Lily the cool (and slightly basic) soil that it likes, and watch it flourish year after year. It will come back each season a little taller and better branched, its blooms increasing in size and substance. Cut all you like for the vase—Red Twin® just keeps pushing out petals. Truly a remarkable plant, it asks only sunshine, water, and well-drained soil to bloom for many years.
