Lilies (105)
See Our Flowers...WELCOME TO EARTHBOUND LILIES 2012!
At Earthbound we strive to ensure that we provide you with the best quality bulbs available. Each year we are pleased to offer a range of choices to please any pallet and grow in a variety of conditions. Our lilies range in height, colour, size, growing conditions and bloom time. By choosing from a variety of the lily families, you can enjoy the beauty of lilies from June through September.
This year we are excited at the new varieties and colours that will add interest to even the most established lily garden!
There has been a lot of activity in the breeding of new DOUBLE LILIES, both Asiatic and Oriental varieties. These *KISS* lilies are remarkable for two main features, they're double (that means doubly gorgeous!) and they're pollen-less (so you can avoid those pesky pollen stains on your nose when you take a closer look or a sniff to inhale their intoxicating fragrance!)
Tango Asiatic lilies continue to be popular, with new varieties available again this year. Distinguished by their halo of dark, densely freckled centres, these flowers are bound to draw attention!
Breeders have been working with Oriental and Aurealian Trumpet lilies for several years now and we know that you’ll agree that the dramatic, hardy and large fragrant flowers produced in the OT, ORIEN-PET and LO families are a real breakthrough in new lilies.
For those of us who like the old fashioned cottage style of lily, Earthbound is pleased to include many SPECIES lilies. Many of these have been grown for many years and some will actually prefer a dappled shade location! In response to requests from many of you we have expanded our collection of easy to grow Species lilies.
OUR WEB CATALOGUE HIGHLIGHT A SELECTION OF OUR LILIES. WE'D LOVE YOU TO VISIT OUR GARDENS AND GREENHOUSES TO SEE OUR COMPLETE SELECTION OF ALL OF THE LILIES WE'RE GROWING FOR THE SUMMER OF 2012.
Looking for a variety you don't see listed? call us or email to inquire what you're looking for and we'll do our best to help you find it.
Daylilies (122)
See Our Flowers...Daylilies (Hemerocallis) are perennial plants. The name Hemerocallis comes from the Greek words ἡμέρα (hēmera) "day" and καλός (kalos) "beautiful". This name alludes to the attractive flowers of this genus which typically last no more than 24 hours. The flowers of most species open at sunrise and wither at sunset, possibly replaced by another one on the same scape (flower stalk) the next day. Some species are night-blooming. Daylilies are not commonly used as cut flowers for formal flower arranging, yet they make good cut flowers otherwise as new flowers continue to open on cut stems over several days.
