Description
The Lilium ‘Salmon Party’ is a compact and fragrant oriental lily with large, star-shaped cream and salmon flowers, beautifully spotted and striate with orange. Its low-growing habit makes it an excellent lily for pots and borders, which it decorates in the heart of summer. Its spicy fragrance will be much appreciated in cut flower arrangements.
Belonging to the genus Lilium (Lily family), this perennial bulb is classified in the Oriental Hybrids horticultural group, renowned for its lilies with particularly large and fragrant flowers. Like other lilies, it goes dormant after flowering: the deciduous foliage disappears in winter and then regrows from the bulb in spring.
'Salmon Party' is a small oriental lily, reaching 45 to 60 cm in height with a spread of 25 to 30 cm. Its flowers, measuring 12 to 15 cm across, are star-shaped, with petals slightly recurved at the tips. The petal colour is a creamy white to pinkish white washed with salmon, with a broad central orange band and numerous small coral-red spots. They bloom from July to August depending on the climate, on sturdy stems clothed with dark green, spiralled leaves. The foliage dies back in autumn, while the bulb enters dormancy. This cultivar is hardy down to -15/-20°C in well-drained soil, with protection in the coldest climates.
In the garden, the ‘Salmon Party’ lily is best placed at the front of a border, near a path or not far from a terrace to enjoy its fragrance. It can be paired with daylilies like 'Everydaylily Rose', with scabious ‘Butterfly Blue’, or with the Salvia nemorosa ‘Caradonna’ whose violet spikes accentuate its salmon tones. In a pot, pair it, for example, with a compact hardy geranium like Geranium sanguineum ‘Max Frei’ or with a pretty ornamental grass Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Little Bunny’. Its cut flowers bring a soft, contemporary note to bouquets, mixed with pastel achilleas or white cosmos.
In many parts of the world, certain lilies – notably Lilium lancifolium – have long been cultivated for their edible bulbs, used in cooking or traditional medicine. Ornamental cultivars like 'Salmon Party' are, of course, reserved for the garden.

Planting and care
The 'Salmon Party' lily does not appreciate calcareous, poorly drained and heavy soils. You should plant it in full sun, with the base in shade, preferably in spring, burying the bulbs 15 cm deep in a pocket of soil mixed with leaf mould. Surround them with a pocket of sand which will prevent rot as well as slug attacks, while allowing them to swell more easily. Mark the planting location, as growth only begins in April. When the stems reach 30 cm in height, discreetly stake them.
If red insects appear, treat without delay; these are lily beetles whose larvae can devour all the leaves. The most effective method is to catch them manually; be careful, they drop off as soon as they are touched, so place a box underneath.
Tip for planting lilies in compact soil: the scaly bulbs of large lilies fear clay soils which suffocate them and cause rot.
In Eastern Europe, the following technique is used to help these bulbs survive the winter. Plant them on 'benches' built above ground level. These benches consist of a first layer of gravel, on which tightly packed branches are placed. Then cover the whole with a thick layer of compost, 20 to 30 cm deep.
On the terrace, you can create sumptuous pot displays with lilies. Choose a container wide and deep enough (at least 16 cm in diameter for 1 bulb). Fill it with a mixture of leaf mould and sand. Plant the lilies in groups of 3 to 5 bulbs, 10-15 cm apart, then water thoroughly. Place the pots in a cool room, or outdoors once the frosts have passed. The ambient temperature should be around 12°C. When the shoots appear, place the pot in a conservatory or a very bright room, at a temperature of about 18°C. Apply liquid fertiliser twice a month until the flower buds appear.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
