Borrello Oriental Lily starts from a 10 to 16 cm bulb that grows and forms narrow, long laced-shaped leaves and blooms vibrant red purplish bowl-shaped flowers. This unique plant grows between 20 to 36 inches tall which is great for containers, garden beds or any landscape where they will get full sun to partial shade. They are also great for cut flower arrangements or bouquets.

Oriental Lilies have the largest, unique and colorful blooms and their bulbs multiply annually giving you more highly fragrant, pollen-free blooms every year. When the leaves start to wilt, just wait until they have died down in fall since they help provide nourishment to the bulb for the next season’s bloom. It is advisable to cover them with mulch before the winter weather comes especially in colder areas.
