I am looking for lilies to grow in a large pot ( 2 foot diameter by 2 foot high ) facing approximately East in a sheltered area.
\nMy priority is fragrance, for which lilies are well known.
\nWhat varieties do you recommend?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hi there,
\nIf you prefer lilies with a gorgeous perfume, then the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Oriental Lilies<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>and double oriental lilies known as<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Roselilies<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>are your best pick. Oriental lilies come in a palette of pinks, whites and even yellows. These are all highly scented varieties and reach up to 120cm in height.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Oriental Trumpet<\/a> Lilies are also scented but reach a much taller height, that is why they are appropriately nicknamed Tree Lilies.<\/p>\n

Nymph<\/a> is a very popular variety and has a gorgeous sweet scent.<\/p>\n

\"Nymph<\/p>\n

The general rule of thumb is the whiter the lily, the stronger the scent as they attract pollinators by their scent as opposed to their colour.<\/p>\n

Hope this helps.<\/p>\n
