Comments:  Lillium 'Twinkle White' or A iatic Lily, Tiger Lily is a showy perennial bulbous plant with a clumping growth habit.  It is of hybrid origin by hybridizer Laan Lelies (2000).  In late Spring, Lilium 'Twinkle White' produces white spotted flat blossoms with recurved petals atop blue-green smooth strappy foliage.  Florists are delighted with the cut flowers.  Butterflies, birds and bees are magnetized by this plant.  Lillium 'Twinkle White' is easily propagated from offsets or bulb divisions.  In order to get the plant to produce more bulblets, score the base of the bulb.  Twinkle White Asiatic Lily thrives best in well-drained soil in a sunny location.  Do not overwater to prevent bulbs from rotting.  Mass plant Lillium 'Twinkle White' in perennial beds or borders for a delightful view.  It is excellent for naturalizing.  Twinkle White Asiatic Lily can also be container cultivated.  It adds beauty to the Summer landscape.
