Did you know
- Unlike Oriental lilies, Asiatic lilies have no fragrance — making them safer for people with sensitive noses.
- They're the earliest lilies to bloom, opening up to a month before Oriental types.
- All Asiatic lily pollen is highly toxic to cats, even from a brushed-on petal.
- The upward-facing flowers were bred from species like Lilium dauricum and L. bulbiferum.
- Florists prize them because the cut flowers can last over two weeks in a vase.
