Asiatic hybrid lilies offer the following advantages to gardeners:
1. Availability;
2. Ease of growing;
3. Hardiness in colder and winter temperatures;
4. Range in color variety;
5. Reliability in yielding greatest numbers of flowers per bulb;
6. Resistance to disease.
They're known for their lack of a scent, their medium size, and the orientation of their flowers either outwards or upwards. They trace their origins to the crossing of two central or East Asian spcies. Historically, spectacular hybrids result from the crossing of these species of lily [Lilium spp]:
L. amabile
L. bulbiferum [Orange, Fire, Croceum lily]
L. cernuum [Nodding lily]
L. concolor [Morning Star lily]
L. davidii [David's lily]
L. maximowiczii [variety of Leichtlin's lily]
L. pumilum [Coral lily]
L. tigrinum [Tiger lily]
x hollandicum [Umbel lily]
x maculatum
But the Asiatic hybrid lilies just represent one of the nine [9] divisions into which lily species and hybrids officially are grouped.
