I am looking for lilies that are fragrant. I know that orientals are, but wondered if there are others that I am overlooking.
Would like your input. I am trying to get a fragrance garden started around my deck and pool. Help!!
Are there any fragrant lilies other than Oriental?
Trumpets and Oriental/Trumpet hybrids are all very fragrant - they have a somewhat different scent but still strong and pleasant. The Asiatics are generally not fragrant but most other lilies are.
Thanks, don't want to waste my planting space with pretty, when I want fragrant.
Trumpets, Aurelians & some of the species are highly fragrant.
Generally hardy with a mulch cover for the winter.
Provide excellent drainage & sun: they're happy campers.
One of my favorites is 'Elegant Lady' and it is an early bloomer with an excellent fragrance. It is a longiflorum x oriental (LO). Many of the LO crosses have a very nice fragrance and bloom early. It's a group not be be missed in the garden, when it comes to outstanding fragrance.
