Valletta is a bright yellow TA Hybrid Lily with strong stems and cheerful blooms that bring a sunny lift to the garden. TA Hybrids are a cross between Trumpet and Asiatic lilies, combining the bold colour and upward-facing flowers of Asiatic types with the strong stems and garden presence often associated with Trumpet lilies. Valletta is a lovely choice for adding fresh colour through garden beds and borders, and the strong stems make it great 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)
