Oriental Lily 'Tom Pouce' (Lilium)

Oriental Lily 'Tom Pouce': Fragrant Pink and White Elegance

Oriental Lily 'Tom Pouce' is a stunning hybrid lily featuring large, outward-facing flowers with crisp white petals broadly edged and flushed in soft rose-pink, and a delicate yellow central stripe. The blooms are intensely fragrant, especially in the evening, and appear in mid to late summer on strong 3-4 foot stems. The glossy, lanceolate leaves are arranged in whorls.

Growing Tips

Plant bulbs in spring or autumn in well-drained, slightly acidic soil enriched with organic matter. Provide full sun for the flowers but shade for the roots (mulch or underplant). Stake tall stems if needed. Remove faded flowers but leave stems until yellow. Hardy in USDA zones 4-9.
