Other flowering plants with &#8220;lily&#8221; in their name but not from the genus <em>Lilium <\/em>are not true lilies (daylilies, peace lilies, canna lilies, water lilies, toad lilies, and calla lilies). Butterflies are attracted to lilies, but these flowers are toxic for cats and dogs. Natural pests include the lily beetle and deer. Asiatic species have some amazing and very interesting colors plus distinctive markings like spots. The Oriental species are known for their strong fragrance. Longiflorum lilies are popular during Easter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Habitat\/Growing Information.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lilies have large flowers and grow from bulbs. The flower has 6 trumpet-shaped tepals&#8211;3 on the bottom and 3 on top (top flowers rotated so that all 6 flowers are visible. These lovely flowers range in colors from orange, red, pink, white, and yellow. Lilies do well in both full and part sun in hardiness zones 4-8. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They prefer well-drained loamy soil (1 inch of rain per week). Lilies grow from 2-4 feet&#8211;one flower per one shoot per one bulb. Lilies can also grow in containers, but it is important that the soil be well-drained and that the plant gets enough sunlight. It is probably better to plant them outdoors eventually. Since the flowers are big and top-heavy, be sure to plant the bulb 7-10 inches deep into the soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What Are the Different Types of Lilies?\" width=\"980\" height=\"551\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uXzLCTgswpc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/uXzLCTgswpc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/uXzLCTgswpc (opens in a new tab)\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/uXzLCTgswpc<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lilies 101: Care, Types and Handling\" width=\"980\" height=\"551\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pRkEIkScE9o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/pRkEIkScE9o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/pRkEIkScE9o (opens in a new tab)\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/pRkEIkScE9o<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lily Varieties - Rose-Hill Gardens Video Series Episode Seven\" width=\"980\" height=\"551\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/g_UMewbwWdY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/g_UMewbwWdY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/g_UMewbwWdY (opens in a new tab)\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/g_UMewbwWdY<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Create Lily Hybrids At Home\" width=\"980\" height=\"551\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Pqy99gkXm1w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Pqy99gkXm1w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Pqy99gkXm1w (opens in a new tab)\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/Pqy99gkXm1w<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parts utilized.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the species of <em>Lilium<\/em>, different parts are used for different medicinal\/therapeutic purposes.
