Lilium (Asiatic) ‘Secret Kiss’
Lilium 'Secret Kiss' is a stunning Asiatic lily with dark plum-red-black flowers and burnt orange stamens with black stems.
Lilium ‘Secret Kiss’ is one of the darkest of all Asiatic lilies and really pops in the garden when paired with white lilies. This stunner appears black but is actually a very dark plum/red. In a light shade garden, it would appear black. The full sun reveals the red tones especially with light shining through the petals. For best displays, plant 3 or more bulbs together. Easy to grow. Keep the roots cool and moist during the growing season. Remove developing seed pods after flowering to focus resources back into the bulb. Allow leaves to yellow in the fall before removing stems. Pollinator friendly.
