Description / Lilium 'Purple Lady' Tree Lily Bulbs
Lilium 'Purple Lady' makes a striking addition to any garden, reaching an impressive height of 4 to 5 feet by its third year. This late-blooming tree lily dazzles in summer with massive, trumpet-shaped flowers featuring waxy pink petals, a lavender-blue sheen, rose-pink speckles, and a sweet fragrance that attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. These stunning blooms, borne on strong, upright stems lined with dark green leaves, are ideal for cutting gardens, wedding bouquets, or mixed arrangements.
This hardy Lilium x asiaticum variety thrives in Zones 5-9, making it a reliable perennial for cooler climates. Its upright growth habit and bold blooms make it a standout when planted in groups or masses in beds, borders, or containers. For cutting gardens, 'Purple Lady' delivers prolific blooms that continue to impress. Be sure to leave at least 2/3 of the stem intact when harvesting flowers to ensure the bulbs regenerate for future seasons.
'Purple Lady' lilies flourish in full sun (6-8 hours) but tolerate partial shade. Keep their roots cool by applying mulch and planting alongside low-growing companion plants. These lilies thrive in nutrient-rich, well-drained soils with consistent moisture, though they adapt to average garden soils. Avoid overwatering to prevent bulb rot. Deadhead faded blooms promptly but wait until the foliage yellows naturally before trimming to promote bulb health. Resistant to deer and critters, 'Purple Lady' is a low-maintenance choice for bold, beautiful gardens.
Plant bulbs in early spring, spacing them 6 to 8 inches apart and burying them 6 to 8 inches deep. With little effort, enjoy towering, fragrant blooms that bring drama to your garden each summer.
