Giant Hybrid Lily Empoli
Giant Hybrid Lily Empoli
Intense color, flower size and fragrance make Giant Hybrid Lily Empoli a standout in the garden and bouquets. The red-pink to dark pink flowers with golden-yellow centers measure up to 8" across, and their fragrance will perfume the summer air. Empoli is a cross between the exotic Oriental and regal trumpet lilies. Orientals are known for their fragrance, spectacular color and flower size. Trumpets are known for their trumpet-shaped flowers; they naturalize well and are easy to grow. The sturdy stems on these lilies can reach a height of 3-4', with large, sweet-smelling blooms 3-6" in size in the first year alone. By the second year, they can shoot up to 5-6', and within three years these lilies can reach as high as 6-8' with masses and masses of beautiful blooms to enjoy. The surge in height is owed to their extraordinary ability to produce multiple stems from a single bulb.

Excellent addition. Eye catcher
Planted my bulbs spring 2022. They're over 6ft tall this year with 12-14 blooms each and starting to flower. Some planted in partial shade and some in full sun. Couple more blooms in full sun position. Little less watering and more protected in partial shade. WATCH OUT FOR DEER THEY LOVE THEM. Fence in to keep them out
In love with these lilies
These truly are a stunning addition to my flower collection. I will be buying more next year. Big, beautiful blooms the first year.
weird color
Last year when I planted this the flowers were oddly stripped. I thought maybe it was a nutritional deficiency, but this year they look the same. Definitely not as pictured.
Pretty
Successful with these, all came up and are two foot tall this year, should see better blooms next year if not going to plant them in sunnier spot
Stunning!

Thank you for the feedback. The Empoli Giant Hybrid Lily, like other giant lilies, start out small and get taller every year.
Total keeper

It's a huge flower. Beautiful matte petals, fine fragrance during the day, more fragrance at night. It looks like a fairytale flower. Use these as cut flowers. I'm very happy!
