The Tiny Lily Series is a compact, dwarf Asiatic lily collection, known for its bright, upward-facing blooms, sturdy stems, and early summer flowering. These hardy, low-maintenance perennials reach only 12-16 inches tall, making them perfect for borders, containers, rock gardens, and small spaces. With a wide range of colors, Tiny Lilies provide long-lasting color and excellent cut flowers while being drought-resistant and easy to grow.

Planting & Growing Conditions

  • Hardiness Zone: 3-9 (cold-hardy and suitable for prairie gardens)
  • Mature Size: 12-16 inches tall, 10-14 inches wide
  • Growth Rate: Fast
  • Sunlight Needs:
    • Full sun to partial shade (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for best flowering)
  • Soil Requirements:
    • Prefers well-drained, fertile soil
    • Slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0)
    • Avoid heavy clay or overly wet soil, which can cause bulb rot
  • Spacing: 10-12 inches apart for compact growth

Watering & Maintenance

  • Young Plants (First Year):
    • Water deeply 1-2 times per week until roots establish
  • Established Plants:
    • Water moderately, keeping soil moist but not soggy
    • Reduce watering after blooming to allow bulbs to harden
  • Mulching:
    • Apply a 1-2 inch layer of mulch to retain moisture and protect roots

Fertilizing

  • First Year: No fertilizer needed—use organic compost at planting
  • Mature Plants:
    • Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) in early spring
    • A second feeding after flowering strengthens bulbs for the next season
    • Avoid excess nitrogen, which promotes foliage growth over blooms

Pruning & Maintenance

  • Best Time to Prune: After blooming (late summer to fall)
  • How to Prune:
    • Deadhead spent flowers to prevent seed formation (redirects energy to the bulb)
    • Allow foliage to naturally die back, as it feeds the bulb for next year’s blooms
    • Cut back dead stalks in fall for a tidy garden

Flowers, Foliage & Seasonal Interest

  • Bloom Time: Early to mid-summer (June-July)
  • Flower Colors:
    • Wide variety of colors, including red, orange, yellow, pink, and bi-color blooms
    • Upward-facing flowers, making them excellent for container displays
  • Fragrance: Mild to none (unlike Oriental lilies, Asiatic lilies are not heavily scented)
  • Foliage:
    • Dark green, lance-shaped leaves
    • Compact, clump-forming habit—ideal for small gardens

Pest & Disease Management

Resistant to: Deer, rabbits, and most common pests

Common Pests:

  • Lily Beetles – Red beetles that chew leaves
    • Solution: Handpick or apply neem oil
  • Aphids – Can cause curling leaves
    • Solution: Spray with insecticidal soap

Common Diseases:

  • Botrytis Blight (Fungal Leaf Spot) – Brown spots on leaves
    • Solution: Improve airflow, avoid overhead watering, apply fungicide if needed
  • Bulb Rot – Caused by wet, poorly drained soil
    • Solution: Ensure well-drained soil and avoid overwatering

Winter Protection

  • Cold-hardy to Zone 3no special protection needed in most climates
  • Mulching:
    • Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch in late fall to protect bulbs from extreme temperature changes
  • Container-Grown Lilies:
    • Move pots to a sheltered area or unheated garage in winter to prevent bulbs from freezing solid

Landscape Uses

Perfect for borders, edging, and rock gardens
Excellent for container gardens and patios
Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established
Great as cut flowers—long vase life
Ideal for mass plantings and small-space gardening

There are better floating shelves
Color: Rustic Brwon, Size: 16in
Doesn’t feel very sturdy like other floating shelves I’ve bought, and they slant a little. The anchors and screws that it came with all broke so we had to get our own for it to feel more secure on the wall, but still feels wobbly. Overall, it looks good on the wall after the fact, but won’t be adding too much weight on it.

Excellent privacy shade.
Color: Coal Black
This delivered on exactly what it promises. So happy with the quality for the value. The shades are a fabric, nylon like, that are attached with a pocket on one end and velcro that adheres around the bar on the other. This was incredibly easy and straightforward to put together. Every piece was clearly labeled, coordinated with the instruction sheet, and fit perfectly. Honestly, I wasn’t planning to leave a review but I was so impressed by how clearly labeled and well explained the instructions were that I felt compelled to note it. Especially for anyone who doesn’t like putting things together, or is used to subpar instructions, this is leagues above the rest. It’s such a simple build anyway, but after buying so many things that barely fit as they should, this stands out. It is lightweight and easy to move. Offers privacy when opened, then can be folded out of the way. It looks exactly as pictured. No complaints, it’s a solid item and worth the price.
