Lily Queen of the Night (Asiatic) in the GardenTags plant encyclopedia

Lilium 'Queen of the Night'

 

Lily 'Queen of the Night' (Asiatic)

Tall stems with dark green leaves that are very long. Large dark purple flowers with a very light scented during the day more of a scent at night. This is an absolute stunner of a lily, especially when the sun hits it. With the lily bulb it can stay in ground as long as it has a good mulch/bark over it. And after the lily has bloomed,do not cut back until the stem starts turning. Give enough time for the bulb to get nutrients it needs.
