2024 is the Year of the Lily.
The lily, a genus of flowering plant known scientifically as Lilium, is prized for its striking beauty and fragrance. Native primarily to the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, wild lilies grow in Asia, Europe, and North America.
About 100 originating species of lilies have engendered many varieties and hybrids through cultivation. The diversity in their forms is remarkable. Colors include whites, yellows, oranges, pinks, reds, purples, and combinations. The shapes of lily flowers vary as well, with some being trumpet-shaped, bowl-shaped, funnel-shaped, and recurved.
Lilies are prized in gardens and bouquets tracing back to 1500 BC in Crete; their popularity has only grown. Different species and hybrids bloom at various times throughout the growing season, with some flowering in early summer and others in late summer or early fall.
Despite their delicate appearance, many lily varieties are hardy and relatively easy to grow. Lilies typically prefer well-drained soils and a full sun or partial shade position. However, the care and conditions required can vary significantly among the different species and hybrids, making it essential for gardeners to understand the specific needs of the lilies they grow.
