Find Your Growing Zone!

Be amazed by the super-dark blooms of the Night Flyer Lily (Lilium lancifolium 'Night Flyer'). The mysterious color is nearly black, providing a superb contrast with the green leaves and other blooms in your garden! Dangling from long stems in tall aerial loose bunches, these large blooms take turns opening, extending your enjoyment for a long time!

The stunning color is so dark, that you may not notice the additional flash of red speckles on the blooms initially. This variety of Lily grows quite large, reaching 48-60 inches tall, making it an ideal backdrop for your perennial garden. You'll also enjoy the fragrance!

The pollinator-friendly Night Flyer Lily is not only attractive to humans, but also to butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects. If you want to be the talk of the town, use these perennial bulbs in large swaths to garner head-turning attention!

Planting and Application:

It will do just as well standing alone or in containers. So tuck a few into your cottage or perennial border, mix among shrubs or tuck into pollinator and cutting gardens where these dramatic blooms just shine! Pot up as a specimen or thriller in planters, and as a tall accent in mixed-containers.

Lilies excel in mass plantings and groupings and let the vibrant colors do the hard work for you. Your landscaping will be changed forever! Plant rows and blocks of these blooms to call attention to a special spot in your garden or to highlight your landscape without sacrificing precious space.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

While it can handle many growing conditions, well-drained soil, with medium moisture, is the Lily's preferred habitat. Plant in full sun or partial shade for the strongest stems and best color. Mulch the site well and stake the stems if they seem to lean or flop after harsh weather. Prune off the blooms as they fade and in fall, prune the stems down to the ground once the foliage yellows.
