Comments: Lilium Asiatic Hybrid Milano or Lily Milano is a
beautiful hardy perennial bulbous plant with an upright growth habit.
It trhives well in the full to part sun area of the garden and is
resistant to rots and virus. Butterflies and hummingbirds are
attracted to
the charming long-lasting blossoms of Lily Milano. I love its big gorgeous blooms.
Lilium Asiatic Hybrid Milano is drought tolerant and is easily
propagated from bulb divisions. Grow them en masse in the xeriscaping
landscape for a dramatic effect. There will be enough Lily Milano
blossoms to make a lovely bouquet. Lily Milano is carefree and low
maintenance.
