Full SunOrfeo Lily.
Orfeo is a bold, deep red TA Hybrid Lily with rich, dramatic blooms that really stand out in the garden. TA Hybrids are a cross between Trumpet and Asiatic lilies, combining the strong colour and upward-facing flowers of Asiatic types with the sturdy stems and garden presence often associated with Trumpet lilies. Orfeo is a great choice for adding height, depth and strong colour through garden beds and borders, and the long stems make it excellent for picking for the vase too.

Asiatic and Oriental lilies come in a range of spectacular colours, shapes, sizes and of course scents. Fantastic in pots, and one of the best cutflower varieties.
Asiatic lilies bloom first in early summer, not long after Paeonies start blooming. They are incredibly hardy providing they are grown in relatively free draining soils. Asiatic's are the shortest type of lily and come in a huge array of colours and shapes, from pastel to tropical.
Asiatic Lilies don’t have much of a fragrance, but they're perfect for adding a splash of colour to the garden.
Oriental lilies have that famously strong, heavenly fragrance. They are tall and stately. Usually Oriental Lilies grow slower than Asiatics, often blooming about the time when Asiatic lilies are beginning to fade (mid/late Summer)
