Bulbs

Lilium 'Albany'

Albany Lily

Lilium 'Albany' features trumpet-shaped blossoms in a lively fuchsia pink at the center, fading to soft white along the petal edges. Each bloom includes a sunny yellow throat, which enhances the warmth of the flower's coloring. The outside of the petals carries a gentle mauve tint, creating an appealing contrast with the vibrant hues on the inner surface. Blooming in midsummer, these upward-facing flowers bring a cheerful and elegant splash to garden borders and flower arrangements alike.

Design tip

Summer flowers carry the middle of the season, so place it where the bed needs color once spring bulbs fade. Plant in generous groups rather than single spots, and set them among perennials whose new growth covers the fading foliage.
