Do Asiatic lilies rebloom?

Lake Toxaway, NC(Zone 7a)

My daughter-in-law bought some Asiatics with a label that said they rebloom. She has already had her first flush and has since dead-headed them. I didn't know they rebloomed because my orientals don't. Should she give them a bit more fertilizer and expect a rebloom of the Asiatics?

None of mine have ever rebloomed...

Where did she purchase them? There was one of those 'less than reputable' catalog companies that advertised reblooming lilies, but what they meant that that there were secondary and tertiatry buds.

Lilies will bloom again, next year, as they need to go through a cold season.

Lilies will only truly rebloom if they send up another stalk that produces flowers the same season. Not unheard of, but to my knowledge, none are asiatics. While the Japanese have been working with these for quite some time, it is a relatively new phenomenon in the U.S. All have trumpet form flowers like an Easter lily (in fact they are closely related to Easter lilies), and I believe all are white.

So if your "asiatic" has Easter lily like flowers, there is a remote possibility that it does rebloom. If not, I would say there is not.

They won't unless they have L longaflorum in them. LAs will rebloom, but it takes about 5 or 6 months.
