Description
Considered to be one of if not the best Oriental Lily of all time, ‘Casablanca’ displays enormous and extremely fragrant pure white blooms over a 4-week period in mid to late summer. A whopping 6 to 8 buds are produced at the top of every rigid, vertical stem, which is clothed in elongated, deep green leaves. Plant this one near patios and other sitting areas where the beauty and heavenly aroma can be enjoyed from up close. The flowers are excellent for cutting and display in your favorite vase.
Please Note: A vigorous plant, our 2 year old 1 gallon size plants can be planted any time of year and should produce flowers the first summer.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 4 to 5 feet tall and 2 feet wide, the Casablanca Oriental Lily is ideal for growing in pots or garden beds around patios, porches and other sitting areas where the fragrance can be enjoyed from up close. Also a nice addition at the back or middle of the border in perennial gardens. A fine addition to lily gardens, fragrance gardens, white theme gardens, cottage gardens, butterfly gardens and Asian gardens
Suggested Spacing: 18″ apart for groupings
Growing Preferences
The Casablanca Lily isn’t too fussy about soil provided it is moist but well drained. Constantly soggy soils can cause root rot. Plants like full sun to partial sun. We suggest at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. When all the leaves have turned yellow in late fall or winter the stems can be cut back to a few inches or so above the ground. We usually wait to cut them back until late winter, when we’re pruning many other plants in the garden.
Plant Long & Prosper!
