Asiatic Lily 'Fantasiatic Orange' (Lilium asiatic 'Fantasiatic Orange') brings bright, saturated orange blooms to your summer garden on a neat, compact plant that fits small beds and patio pots. You will get the best flower color and sturdy stems when you give it strong light and avoid soggy soil.
Plant this lily where it receives full sun, and choose a spot with well-drained soil. If your soil is heavy, improve drainage before planting. In beds, space bulbs or plants so air can move between stems; in containers, use a quality potting mix and a pot with drainage holes so bulbs do not sit in water.
Keep the soil evenly moist while shoots are growing and during bloom, then water more sparingly once flowering finishes. A light spring feeding supports good growth, and taller stems can be supported if needed to keep blooms upright. Remove spent flowers if you want a tidier look, but let the leaves remain so the bulb can store energy for next season. Stems also make excellent cut flowers for simple indoor arrangements.
In colder climates, allow the plant to go dormant naturally and add a light mulch after the ground freezes if winters are harsh. Like other true lilies, pollen and plant parts are highly toxic to cats, so place this plant where pets cannot access it and avoid bringing pollen into pet areas.
