Lilies

The lily family is one of the most-varied groups of flowers. Breck's carries beautiful lily flower bulbs in dozens of varieties. Find Asiatic lilies, Oriental lilies, tree lilies and more!

Lilies, also know by the botanical name lilium, come in a plethora of colours and types, from exotic-looking stargazer lilies with painted petals speckled in both light and dark dots, to elegant white lilies that sparkle with pure white petals and red stamens. All lilies share a basic, elegant look that comprises large, brilliantly coloured triangular petals that open wide and curl back to reveal delicate stamen in the center of the bloom. Not only are the colours delightful, but the fragrance produced by these flowers can be downright intoxicating.

With so many varieties of lily bulbs to choose from, your yard could be a colourful display of beautiful blooming flowers throughout the summer months. Planting lilies in succession with other plants will give your garden splashes of colour all summer long with minimal maintenance--regardless of whether you choose Asiatic lilies that are fragrance free and bloom in midsummer, or very fragrant Oriental lilies that bloom in mid to late summer. Lilies of any variety make a beautiful flower arrangement, so you can bring a bit of your colourful garden inside. Place a vase of cut lily flowers in the entry way, or present a friend with a fragrant arrangement to brighten her home.
