Most fragrant lillies

This question was asked by

Hello

I am looking for the most fragrant lillies , that have a fragrance that waft across the garden.

Could you recommend a selection?

Do the double lillies have a weaker fragrance but a longer lasting flower?

All Oriental lilies are known for their strong, luxurious fragrance, making them one of the best choices if you’re looking to fill the garden with scent. As a general rule, the paler or whiter the lily, the stronger its perfume. This is because white lilies rely more on fragrance than colour to attract pollinators in nature, so they produce a richer, more noticeable scent.

Double Lilies and Roselilies are also beautifully fragrant. 

In short:

• White and pale Oriental lilies = strongest fragrance
  Oriental Lilies

• Double Lilies and Roselilies = very fragrant, fuller blooms, longer flower life 
  Double Oriental Lilies Roselilies

A perfect combination if you want both scent and show-stopping beauty in the garden.
