How we measure your trees
When you order a 5–6 ft. tree, you get a tree that's 5–6 ft. tall above the soil, not "including the container." You'll know what to expect when it arrives, and what it will look like in the ground.

Red Velvet Asiatic Lily Bulbs: A Stunning Addition to Your Garden
The Red Velvet Asiatic Lily is a bold and striking lily variety that brings deep, rich red blooms to your garden. This lily is known for its vivid color, upward-facing flowers, and early-season blooming, making it an excellent choice for gardeners who want a dramatic and eye-catching display. Unlike Oriental lilies, Asiatic lilies like Red Velvet are non-fragrant, making them ideal for those who prefer stunning visuals without strong scents.
Why Choose Red Velvet Asiatic Lily?
- Rich, Velvety Red Blooms – The deep red petals have a velvety texture, giving them an elegant and luxurious appearance.
- Early Blooming – Asiatic lilies bloom earlier than many other lily varieties, bringing color to your garden in early summer.
- Non-Fragrant – Perfect for those who want lilies without a strong scent, making them great for patios, balconies, and cut flower arrangements.
- Hardy and Easy to Grow – These lilies are resilient and can thrive in a variety of conditions, from garden beds to containers.
- Great for Cutting Gardens – Their sturdy stems and long-lasting blooms make them a favorite for floral arrangements.
Red Velvet Asiatic Lilies in Your Garden
These lilies make a bold statement whether planted in groups, mixed with perennials, or featured in container gardens. Their deep red color contrasts beautifully with white, yellow, or purple flowers. They also pair well with ornamental grasses and foliage plants, creating a stunning visual effect in garden borders and landscapes.
Cut Flowers That Last
Red Velvet Asiatic lilies are excellent for floral arrangements. Their strong stems and long-lasting blooms make them a favorite among florists and home gardeners alike. To get the best vase life:
- Cut the stems in the morning when the blooms are just opening.
- Remove lower leaves before placing them in water.
- Change the water every few days to keep the flowers fresh for up to two weeks.
Pest and Disease Resistance
One of the benefits of Asiatic lilies is that they are resistant to many common pests and diseases. However, they can occasionally attract lily beetles, which can be managed with hand-picking or organic insecticidal sprays. Ensuring good air circulation around the plants can help prevent fungal diseases.
Common Names
- Lilium 'Red Velvet' – Its botanical name, used in gardening and horticulture.
- Velvet Red Lily – A variation of its common name, sometimes used by nurseries.
- Deep Red Asiatic Lily – A descriptive name emphasizing its color and variety.
- Lilium asiatic ‘Red Velvet’ – Another botanical reference used in plant catalogs.
Since this is a specific hybrid of Asiatic lilies (Lilium asiaticum), it may occasionally be grouped under general terms like Asiatic Lily Red Series or Dark Red Asiatic Lily, though "Red Velvet" remains the most recognized and widely used name.
Perfect for Any Garden Style
Whether you have a formal garden, cottage-style landscape, or modern floral arrangement, Red Velvet Asiatic lilies fit in beautifully. Their dramatic color and upright growth habit make them a focal point in any setting.
If you're looking for a hardy, low-maintenance, and visually striking lily, the Red Velvet Asiatic Lily is an excellent choice. It brings early-season blooms, deep red color, and reliable performance to your garden year after year.
