Lily - Kiss Elodie

Lily – Kiss Elodie

Soft, elegant, and beautifully romantic, Kiss Elodie Lily produces stunning double blooms in delicate shades of blush pink. The layered petals create a lush, full appearance, often accented with subtle darker pink speckling near the center. The double-flowered form gives these lilies a rose-like look, making them a standout feature in garden beds and floral arrangements.

Kiss Elodie is a compact Asiatic lily variety known for producing multiple blooms on strong stems. The pollen-free flowers make them especially desirable for cut flower arrangements, as they are cleaner and longer lasting in bouquets. Their gentle color and refined shape make them perfect for borders, containers, and cottage-style gardens, while also attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Growing Instructions for Zone 3b

Asiatic lilies are hardy bulbs that perform well in cold climates and can remain planted in the ground through winter in Zone 3b.

Planting Time
Plant bulbs in spring after the soil can be worked or in early fall before the ground freezes.

Location
Choose a location with full sun to partial sun and well-drained soil. Lilies prefer sunny tops with cooler roots, which can be achieved by mulching or planting among low-growing companion plants.

Planting Depth

• Dig a hole about 6 inches deep.
• Place the bulb with the pointed end facing upward.
• Cover with soil and water thoroughly.

Spacing
Space bulbs 8–12 inches apart to allow room for mature growth and good airflow.

Watering
Water regularly during the growing season to keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.

Fertilizing
Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring when shoots appear and again when buds begin forming.

Mulching
Apply mulch around plants to help retain moisture and protect bulbs during winter.

Winter Care in Zone 3b

• Lilies are winter hardy and can remain in the ground.
• After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally so the bulb can store energy for the following season.
• Add a layer of mulch in late fall for extra winter protection if desired.

With proper care, Kiss Elodie Lilies will return year after year with graceful, double pink blooms that bring soft beauty and elegance to summer gardens.
