Lilium ‘Corina’ has gorgeous dark red blooms with maroon spots and reflexed petals. The flowers are upfacing , delightfully fragrant and quite large, measuring 6 to 12 inches. The stems stand 3-4 feet high , while a single stem may bear as many as 12 blooms. Corina is an Asiatic hybrid. Asiatic lilies are the easiest lilies to grow, are quite winter hardy and reproduce readily. They generally bloom earlier than other lilies and will have a higher bud count on a straight stem. Typically they are not fragrant although Corina does have a delicate fragrance. The unsurpassed grace and beauty of this lily makes 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.
