The Tiny Lily Series is a compact, dwarf Asiatic lily collection, known for its bright, upward-facing blooms, sturdy stems, and early summer flowering. These hardy, low-maintenance perennials reach only 12-16 inches tall, making them perfect for borders, containers, rock gardens, and small spaces. With a wide range of colors, Tiny Lilies provide long-lasting color and excellent cut flowers while being drought-resistant and easy to grow.

Planting & Growing Conditions

  • Hardiness Zone: 3-9 (cold-hardy and suitable for prairie gardens)
  • Mature Size: 12-16 inches tall, 10-14 inches wide
  • Growth Rate: Fast
  • Sunlight Needs:
    • Full sun to partial shade (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for best flowering)
  • Soil Requirements:
    • Prefers well-drained, fertile soil
    • Slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0)
    • Avoid heavy clay or overly wet soil, which can cause bulb rot
  • Spacing: 10-12 inches apart for compact growth

Watering & Maintenance

  • Young Plants (First Year):
    • Water deeply 1-2 times per week until roots establish
  • Established Plants:
    • Water moderately, keeping soil moist but not soggy
    • Reduce watering after blooming to allow bulbs to harden
  • Mulching:
    • Apply a 1-2 inch layer of mulch to retain moisture and protect roots

Fertilizing

  • First Year: No fertilizer needed—use organic compost at planting
  • Mature Plants:
    • Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) in early spring
    • A second feeding after flowering strengthens bulbs for the next season
    • Avoid excess nitrogen, which promotes foliage growth over blooms

Pruning & Maintenance

  • Best Time to Prune: After blooming (late summer to fall)
  • How to Prune:
    • Deadhead spent flowers to prevent seed formation (redirects energy to the bulb)
    • Allow foliage to naturally die back, as it feeds the bulb for next year’s blooms
    • Cut back dead stalks in fall for a tidy garden

Flowers, Foliage & Seasonal Interest

  • Bloom Time: Early to mid-summer (June-July)
  • Flower Colors:
    • Wide variety of colors, including red, orange, yellow, pink, and bi-color blooms
    • Upward-facing flowers, making them excellent for container displays
  • Fragrance: Mild to none (unlike Oriental lilies, Asiatic lilies are not heavily scented)
  • Foliage:
    • Dark green, lance-shaped leaves
    • Compact, clump-forming habit—ideal for small gardens

Pest & Disease Management

Resistant to: Deer, rabbits, and most common pests

Common Pests:

  • Lily Beetles – Red beetles that chew leaves
    • Solution: Handpick or apply neem oil
  • Aphids – Can cause curling leaves
    • Solution: Spray with insecticidal soap

Common Diseases:

  • Botrytis Blight (Fungal Leaf Spot) – Brown spots on leaves
    • Solution: Improve airflow, avoid overhead watering, apply fungicide if needed
  • Bulb Rot – Caused by wet, poorly drained soil
    • Solution: Ensure well-drained soil and avoid overwatering

Winter Protection

  • Cold-hardy to Zone 3no special protection needed in most climates
  • Mulching:
    • Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch in late fall to protect bulbs from extreme temperature changes
  • Container-Grown Lilies:
    • Move pots to a sheltered area or unheated garage in winter to prevent bulbs from freezing solid

Landscape Uses

Perfect for borders, edging, and rock gardens
Excellent for container gardens and patios
Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established
Great as cut flowers—long vase life
Ideal for mass plantings and small-space gardening

"I ordered Christian fairy tales on the internet and they sent me Hans Christian Andersen ones by mistake!"---Ned Flanders
Format: Paperback
As was first done with "Simpsons Comics Hit The Road," "Simpsons Comics Get Some Fancy Book Learnin'" actually follows the theme of the title and cover art. All the comics have the Simpsons characters portraying figures in literature from Greek Mythology to Shakespeare. The longer comics are very well done but some of the shorter ones at the end fall flat. Still, I enjoyed this change of pace from the usual Simpsons comics. It offers a very clever use of characters. "Greek To Me"--Homer plays, well, Homer (the Greek poet) who tells four stories to a gathering of children. The first is "The Labors of Hercules" with Bart as Hercules. He only completed 10, but hey, 10 out of 12 is a B+ which is the best grade Bart ever got. In the second story, Homer is Hades who abducts Marge...er, Persephone...and is taken to court over it. In the third story, Selma is Medusa and Perseus (Bart) has to cut of her head or face 100 years detention. Finally, Homer tells a string of Aesop's Fables like "The Fox and the Grapes," "The Tortoise and the Hare," and--my favorite--"The Ant and the Grasshopper" where Homer is the grasshopper and Flanders is a hilarious-looking ant! There are a lot of clever lines in this one, especially Barney as Oedipus. "Pandora, Jr."--A 5-page comic with Lisa explaining the story of Pandora's Box to Maggie. Maggie doesn't learn the lesson. Fairy Tales--Ralph plays Humpty Dumpty in a 2-page short, then there are a string of Hans Christian Andersen tales that Lisa saves from the Flanders's book burning BBQ. Lisa reads the stories to Rod and Tod. There is "The Little Mermaid", "The Prince and the Pea" (featuring Smithers and Mr. Burns), "The Shadow" (featuring the Comic Book Guy), "Thumbelina", and "The Story of a Mother." My favorite is "The Ugly Duckling." I like the scene where Marge the swan takes in the ugly duckling Bart saying, "It's not like I haven't compromised before," while watching a fat Homer swan swigging beer and burping. Arabian Tales--Dunyazad (Marge) tells King Shahryar (Moe) stories to keep from being put to death. The first one is the best. Ned Flanders is Aladdin who finds a lamp containing an incompetent genie (Homer). His wishes grant him an all-you-can-eat buffet and go-go bar and an angry wife Maude brought from the dead in skeleton form. The other stories are "Apu Baba and the Four Thieves" and "Sinbart The Sailor." Shakespeare--Plays parodied are "Antony and Cleopatra," "Julius Caesar," "Henry V," "Romeo and Juliet," "The Two Gentlemen of Verona," "Richard III," "Titus Andronicus" (in Itchy and Scratchy cartoon form), and "King Lear." Most of these, in terms of punch lines, are pretty weak. Bible Stories--Bart tells Rod and Tod some Bible stories to calm them down after they find out Sunday School is canceled. The stories parodied are "The Prodigal Son," "Abraham's Sacrifice," and "Noah's Ark." These comics were, on the whole, funnier than the Shakespeare ones.
