Blacklist Asiatic Lily

Blacklist Asiatic Lily

70%
of respondents would recommend this to a friend
Introducing a dramatically deep and totally unique Asiatic lily! Blacklist is definitely the darkest lily we've ever seen. It boasts nearly black, 6" flowers from June to July atop strong, 30-36" stems. Like all lilies, this Asiatic wonder is a natural for indoor arrangements and freshly cut bouquets. But Blacklist really shines in back borders, focal point plantings and feature beds throughout the landscape. Plant these dark lilies alongside lighter or brighter varieties for a nice visual contrast. The statuesque plants grow to 4 feet tall when the blooms appear in summer. For best results, plant bulbs in well-drained sites that get full to part sun.

These lilies did fantastic this year! Last year on their first year, only one of them came up tall and bloomed. This time they all grew tall and beautiful!! My only concern is that several weeks after they were done blooming, we had a terrible storm, and they were knocked over - a couple were even uprooted but not down to the bulb. Will they return next year?

The lilies all came up which was a win, but none of them had the intense color represented in the photo. Still pretty enough, but wasn't exactly a match for the colors I have in my garden. Much more orangey than expected. I wonder why they never got the color intensity I thought they would have. Plenty of light.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

My lilies came up and bloomed. They were lovely pink, but never got the black centers or black petal edges that it shows on the picture. I don't know if it's something I did or the bulbs.
