Lilium 'Blacklist'

Lilium 'Blacklist' is a spectacular Asian lily with particularly dark, burgundy flowers. The flowers are upward-facing and are accentuated by striking orange stamens, creating a powerful color contrast. Thanks to its deep, almost velvety flower color, 'Blacklist' is a real eye-catcher in borders, flowerbeds, and pots.

Dark burgundy flowers

The most striking feature of Lilium 'Blacklist' is the intense dark burgundy flower color. Depending on the angle of light, the flowers can even appear almost black. The upward-facing flowers display their color and shape perfectly, ensuring that this lily is clearly visible from various angles.

At the heart of the flower are contrasting orange stamens. This warm color stands out beautifully against the dark petals and gives the flowers extra depth. Combine 'Blacklist', for example, with white, soft pink, or light yellow summer flowers to further emphasize its dark character. A colorful summer planting is also created when combined with other Asian lilies.

Plants and care

Preferably plant the bulbs of Lilium 'Blacklist' in a sunny to lightly shaded location. Choose a nutritious, humus-rich, and well-draining soil. During the growing season, the soil should remain sufficiently moist, but ensure that excess water can drain away easily.

'Blacklist' can be planted both in the ground and in a spacious pot or planter. For the most beautiful effect, several bulbs can be planted in a group. This creates an impressive display of dark flowers during flowering.

With its dark burgundy, upward-pointing flowers and contrasting orange stamens, Lilium 'Blacklist' is a special Asian lily for anyone looking for powerful, dark colors in the summer garden.
