Casa Blanca Oriental Lily
Lilium ‘Casa Blanca’ has stunning large, white blooms with contrasting red anthers and a delightful fragrance. The petals are recurved, and the flowers are bowl shaped, measuring 8 inches in diameter in mid to late summer. The stems stand 3 to 4 feet high and may have up to 8 flowers on a single stem. Casa Blanca is an Oriental hybrid. Oriental lilies generally have larger flowers and taller stems than the Asiatic lilies and bloom a little later. As a lily becomes more established, it will produce more blooms and taller stems. Typically Oriental lilies have a lovely fragrance, although some people find it unpleasant at best. The unsurpassed grace and beauty of this lily make it a lovely addition to the garden. Lilies love full sun but will do well in partial shade. They tolerate hot summer days, as long as the bulbs are deep enough to remain cool. Lower plants surrounding the lilies will help protect their roots from drying out. Lilies make an excellent cut flower with long-lasting blooms and buds that continue to mature and open after cutting.
