The feature of these hybrid varieties is the edging of a color different from the flower or a strip in the center of each petal.

The varieties are whimsical. They can be attacked by viruses, plus plants are very fond of heat. If lilies are grown in mid-latitudes, they will need to be sheltered during the winter season, but even under cover they may not survive. But there is also a positive point. Among these plants, there are flowers of low growth, which are successfully cultivated in containers and will remain in the winter season in places that do not freeze.

OT-lilies

How did you get these types of lilies? Oriental and tubular hybrid varieties were crossed. Their difference from other varieties is large stems and flowers. This is a record holder among all lilies in terms of growth - 2.5 m. It is for this reason that hybrids can be called trees.

Tree lily plants

Naturally, these are not any trees. These lilies do not have a trunk, which is woody, and in the southern regions they generally die in the winter season. So why then tree-like? They are connected with a tree only by a huge growth, which flowers do not have. In the Ural and Moscow region, plants may not grow to 2.5 m, even if you take care of them too much. Flowers can reach this height only in the south of our homeland.
In middle latitudes, lilies grow up to 1.5-1.7 m, which is also very good.

Moreover, special agricultural technology is not needed, and plus the plants have excellent winter tolerance.
Some tubular varieties can also grow to the size of a giant.

Varieties: Debbie, Labrador, Manissa, Purple Prince, Sucinto, Empoli.

Wild varieties of lilies

The two extreme varieties are unpretentious. Therefore, they are of interest to gardeners.

Tiger varieties of lilies

The ancestor of this lily section is "Tiger (Lanceleaf) lily". The turban-shaped flower is colored orange and has many purple spots.

The most amazing variety - "Fluffy Leopard" - has double flowers. It is famous for its unpretentiousness and frost resistance, each stem forms 12-20 ovaries.

Another famous cultivar, the Flore Pleno cultivar, also has double flowers.
Varieties of a different color, but with specks: yellow "Citronella", there are also types of pink coloration.

Bulbous varieties of lilies

These lilies have a tiger-like coloration, but the flowers are in the form of a tube. The main feature of this group is the formation in the leaf sinuses of a large number of bulbs (air bulbs), through which the process of reproduction of lilies can be carried out. Most Asian varieties can reproduce in the same way, for this feature they were named "Bulbous". Tiger varieties also form a large number of air bulbs.

Blue varieties

What can I say - there are no such varieties. This is all a marketing ploy of unscrupulous sellers, they simply process photos of lilies in programs to get them blue. But do not be upset: craftsmen from Japan, as always, will save the day - they promised to show the world blue lilies by 2020.

In conclusion, it is worth saying that in no material that is given to you, or that you find on your own, no one will convey the descriptive characteristics of lilies and their aromas as accurately and clearly as you do. Just plant these flowers and experience everything in practice. But, I think, our article will be useful to you in choosing a variety. Thank you for your attention!
