Not to be confused with the later Oriental hybrid Lily (Lilium 'Rosy Dawn [Bischoff Tulleken]'), which was released into commerce under the same name.

Not to be confused with the earlier hybrid Lily (Lilium 'Rosy Dawn [de Graaf]'). Unfortunately this Oriental hybrid was released into commerce under the name 'Rosy Dawn', despite there being an existing registration under that name.

Unfortunately a newer Oriental hybrid has been introduced under the same name: Lily (Lilium 'Cameleon')

This is an unregistered hybrid and is not to be confused with the registered Asiatic hybrid Lily (Lilium 'Cameleon [1984]') and the Martagon hybrid Lily (Lilium 'Chameleon').

Care must be taken not to confuse this with Lily (Lilium Roselily Natalia), as both are sometimes mislabelled as 'Natalia'.

Care must be taken not to confuse this hybrid with Lily (Lilium Roselily Elena®), as the latter has sometimes been erroneously labelled 'Elena'.

One of the best asiatics I have ever had. Pretty tall with a lot of buds each season. It does not require support because the stems are firm. Lots of offspring every year. The color does not fade even under the strongest sun and heat.

This lily is sold as a strain so the color can vary. It needs shade in the hottest time of the day because the color fades very quickly. Mild scent.

Definitely one of the best hybrids on the market. In a short time it reaches a great height with many flowers. The bulbs are large and produce many offspring that bloom after 2-3 years. The smell is contagious and pleasant, to some even too strong.

A beautiful lily with large flowers without a noticeable scent. The stem needs support.

I think Mystery is spelled incorrectly in the name of the plant

A hybrid formed by the fusion of L. pardalinum and L. longiflorum. The flowers are almost identical to the Lilium pardalinum, while the stem and leaves resemble the Lilium longiflorum. It multiplies rapidly (as do the parents) and in a short time you will have a large colony. It has no scent, but its hanging flowers are really beautiful and stand out among other lilies.

This strain is distinct from the original Lily (Lilium leucanthum var. centifolium 'Black Dragon') selection which may no longer exist in cultivation.

Distinct from Lily (Lilium leucanthum var. centifolium Black Dragon Group) and possibly no longer in cultivation. The RHS records this as a specific clone selected from the species in the 1950s, whereas the Black Dragon Group (formerly the Black Magic Group) was a later selection of similar plants in the 1960s.

Probably the most popular lily species in the world, and it's not hard to conclude why. This trumpet lily from China is very scented, almost indestructible in any garden and multiplies like crazy. Just be sure to plant this big purple bulb in a sunny spot with good drainage and it'll come back stronger year after year, turning your garden into a fragrant magic place. If you need to introduce someone to the world of lilies, Lilium regale is the best choice. This lily can also be easily grown from seed in large quantities.
