Solutions® White with Pink Margin Oriental Lily

Solutions® is a bulb-grown Oriental lily with white petals marked by hot-pink brush strokes and freckles. Its fragrant flowers rise in clusters above upright stems, bringing a bold, long-lasting display to a border or a vase.\n\n## Garden Use\nPlant this named lily where its flowers can be seen and enjoyed, such as in a mixed border, a small group, or a cutting bed. Oriental hybrids generally have large, fragrant blooms and upright stems; this selection is noted for its white-and-pink pattern and several flowers per stalk. Keep the bulb label with the plant so the named selection remains identifiable.\n\n## Growing Conditions\nChoose a sunny or lightly shaded position with fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Good drainage is important because lily bulbs can rot in persistently wet ground. The North Carolina Extension guide to [Oriental hybrid lilies](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/lilium-oriental-hybrids/common-name/oriental-lily/) describes their range of garden uses and recommends moist, well-drained soil in full sun to light shade.\n\n## Maintenance\nWater during active growth when the soil begins to dry, while avoiding standing water around the bulb. After flowers fade, remove the spent blooms but leave the leafy stem in place until it yellows naturally; this allows the bulb to store energy for the next season. Protect emerging shoots from browsing where deer or rabbits are common, and remember that true lilies are toxic to cats if eaten.
