Lilium 'Eyeliner' adds a touch of sophistication to any garden or bouquet. This midsummer bloomer features milky white, upward-facing flowers adorned with a speckled green throat and a fine purple edge, creating a striking contrast. Growing 24 to 36 inches tall on sturdy, upright stems lined with strappy green foliage, 'Eyeliner' pairs effortlessly with annuals and perennials, adding charm to garden beds and floral arrangements alike.
This Longiflorum Asiatic Hybrid, part of the Lilium x asiaticum family, is a vigorous, winter-hardy perennial (Zones 3-9) that thrives in cooler climates. Its bulbs can be left in the ground through winter, delivering reliable blooms year after year. Perfect for group plantings in beds, borders, and patio containers, 'Eyeliner' is also a favorite in cutting gardens, where its stunning flowers shine in summer bouquets. To protect the bulbs, leave at least 2/3 of the stem intact when cutting blooms.
'Eyeliner' Asiatic lilies grow best in full sun (6-8 hours) but tolerate partial shade. Keep roots cool with mulch and low-growing companion plants at the base. These lilies thrive in rich, well-draining soil with consistent moisture but adapt well to average conditions. Avoid overwatering or allowing the soil to dry out completely. Deadhead faded flowers promptly and wait until the foliage yellows before cutting it back to ensure the bulbs store enough energy for next season. Naturally resistant to deer and critters, 'Eyeliner' is a low-maintenance addition to any garden.
Plant 'Eyeliner' Asiatic bulbs in early spring, spacing them 6-8 inches apart and burying them 6-8 inches deep. With minimal effort, enjoy the timeless elegance and versatility of 'Eyeliner' lilies each summer.
