Lilium 'Anastasia' is a stunning Orienpet hybrid featuring large, outward-facing blooms in soft pink with deep raspberry edges. The petals are lightly ruffled and adorned with fine speckling, creating a dramatic yet elegant floral display. Blooming in mid to late summer, this variety grows 4 to 6 feet tall and thrives in full sun to part shade with rich, well-drained soil. It is highly fragrant, combining the sweet scent of Oriental lilies with the strong stems of Trumpet lilies, making it heat-tolerant and resistant to late spring frosts.

Planting: Plant bulbs in spring or fall, 6 to 8 inches deep and 8 to 12 inches apart. Set with the flat side down and the pointed tip up. These hybrids prefer to stay in place long-term, so choose a permanent spot.
Location: Full sun to light shade. In hot climates, provide afternoon shade to protect blooms and foliage.
Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0). Enrich with compost and ensure excellent drainage—OT lilies dislike soggy roots.
Watering: Water deeply after planting. During the growing season, keep soil evenly moist but not wet. Reduce watering after flowering.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 4–9. In colder zones, mulch in late fall to protect emerging shoots from spring frost.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer when shoots emerge and again at bud formation. A slow-release formula works well.
Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms to direct energy back to the bulb. Allow foliage to yellow and die back naturally before removing.
Staking: Tall stems (often 4–6 feet) may need staking in windy areas. Insert supports early to avoid damaging roots.
Propagation: Divide clumps every 3 to 5 years in fall. Replant immediately or store bulbs in a cool, dry place.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free. Good air circulation helps prevent fungal issues. Watch for slugs and lily beetles.
