Lilium (Lilium x 'Tango Hybrid Mix') - Blooming
Lilies are known for their beautiful flowers and have been hybridized fervently since the 1920's.

Many of the Aurelian hybrids have pleasant but strong scents.
Lilium (Lilium x 'Tango Hybrid Mix') - Growth
Very diverse genus of plants ranging in size from 1 ft. tall to 9 ft. tall. In climates with cooler Summers, Lilies can withstand full sun exposure. Generally, however, they perform best in filtered sun or afternoon shade.
Lilium (Lilium x 'Tango Hybrid Mix') - Planting
Plant bulbs in the Autumn or Spring. Remove any injured bulb tissue and let the bulb callus over in a cool dry place for a few hours before planting. Dig at least 1 ft. of soil, then backfill the now loosened soil so the bulb will be placed at the appropriate height in the soil (planting depths vary amongst the species and varieties).
Lilium (Lilium x 'Tango Hybrid Mix') - Pest
Lilies are susceptible to viral infections. To remedy viral infections, dig out and destroy and lilies that have mottled leaves or severely stunted growth (if it had recently hailed, mottled leaves and severely stunted growth can most likely be linked to that). Deer, rabbits, groundhogs, and voles consume entire plants. Birds may peck at buds, creating holes. Slugs, snails, and red lily beetles are also problems. Gray mold occurs under wet conditions.
Lilium (Lilium x 'Tango Hybrid Mix') - Interesting facts
There are about 100 species of Lilium, but many garden hybrids also exist. Lillies are endemic to the woody and scrub sites of Europe, Asia south to the Philippines, and North America.
Lilium (Lilium x 'Tango Hybrid Mix') - Soil and irrigation
Lilies rarely go dormant; therefore, they generally require regular water year round. Water when the top 2 inches of soil has dried out. Since many lilies have tall floral stems, it may be best to flood the soil versus using overhead irrigation. Overhead watering can topple tall stems.
