Lilium Tequila Sunrise Blend brings bold beauty to your garden with its large-flowering orienpet lilies, a stunning hybrid combining traits of Oriental and trumpet lilies. Growing 36 to 48 inches tall on strong, rigid stems with lance-shaped leaves, these lilies bloom midsummer, setting massive, sweetly fragrant flowers in shades of orange, yellow, white, and pink. Their waxy, slightly recurved petals make a dazzling display in the garden and a standout in fresh summer bouquets.
This blend features Lilium x 'Orienpet' varieties, celebrated for their upright growth habit and hardiness in Zones 3-8. Reliable and perennial, these lilies overwinter in the ground and return each year with even more vigor. Plant them in groups or masses in beds, borders, and containers to create a vibrant, eye-catching display. Their stunning blooms are perfect for cutting gardens, providing fresh flowers for arrangements while leaving 2/3 of the stem intact to support bulb renewal.
Tequila Sunrise Blend orienpet lilies thrive in full sun to partial shade (6 to 8 hours of sunlight). To keep their roots cool, add mulch and plant alongside low-growing companions. These lilies prefer rich, well-draining soil with moderate moisture but can adapt to average soils. Avoid allowing the soil to dry out completely or become too wet to prevent bulb rot. Deadhead blooms as they fade and wait to cut back foliage until it naturally yellows. Deer- and critter-resistant, these lilies are a reliable and stunning addition to your garden.
Plant bulbs in early spring, spacing them 6 to 8 inches apart and burying them 6 to 8 inches deep. With minimal effort, enjoy vibrant, fragrant blooms all summer long.
