Lilium "Pink Perfection" is a result of crossing Oriental and Longiflorum lilies. Such parentage has endowed the variety with an incredible fragrance, powerful bulbs, and strong stems.

The flowers of this variety are delicate, refined, and velvety. The lily's fragrance is very subtle, sweet, and intensifies in the evening.

Planting (Lily Pink Perfection)
The variety's hybrid nature does not affect the complexity of planting.
Planting time. Pink Perfection should be planted as soon as spring frosts have passed. The variety is also suitable for planting in September.
Planting location. Choose a sunny spot, protected from wind. Lily bulbs do not tolerate overly moist soil well, so it's best to select a location with good drainage and no groundwater.
Planting depth. Pink Perfection should be planted at a depth of 15—20 cm.
Care. Timely watering and fertilizing ensure the lily's beauty and maximum possible size. The variety overwinters in open ground without cover. Repotting should be done every 3—4 years.
