Description
The double Asian lily 'Must See' truly lives up to its name. This amazing variety produces double, striped flowers that vary in shape and colour, ranging from orange to creamy white, with some flowers displaying a hint of green. It is a robust plant with vigorous growth, very easy to grow, reliable, and blooms faithfully in summer. It will bring a lot of originality to borders or bouquets.
The Lilium 'Must See' is a bulbous plant from the lily family. It forms a narrow, very vertical clump reaching about 1.10 m in height at full bloom. The clump will spread indefinitely over time, as the bulbs produce bulblets through vegetative propagation. The spectacular flowering occurs in July-August, lasting 3 to 4 weeks. Along the leafy stems, 13 well-upright flowers appear in the axils of the leaves. They have a fleshy, waxy texture, measuring 11 cm wide. The unique feature of these flowers lies in their doubling and variable colours. The petals are narrow and somewhat twisted. Their colours range from solid orange-red to white on the same stem, passing through intermediate shades and a greenish hue. Another unusual fact is that the stamens do not produce pollen. The stems are very sturdy, covered with alternate, medium green, narrow, glossy leaves with parallel veins. The growth cycle of this 'Must See' lily is deciduous: it emerges in spring and withers before winter. Thriving in rich humus soil, hardy, this lily appreciates well-drained and light soils.
The Asian lily 'Must See' will bring a truly unique touch to sunny borders, edgings, or flower beds. To enhance its beauty, it can be paired, for example, with 'Stella de Oro' daylily with golden yellow flowers, 'Walker's Low' catnip Nepeta faassenii forming a haze of lavender blue flowers, and 'Autumn Joy' Sedum spectabile' with pink-red flowers turning rusty by late summer. The Asian lily 'Navona', which produces beautiful white flowers, creates an elegant contrast with the 'Must See' lily, both in the garden and in a vase.

Planting and care
The 'Must See' lily appreciates humus-bearing, well-drained, and light soils. You will plant it in full sun, or in partial shade in regions with very hot summers, preferably in autumn, burying the bulbs 15 cm deep in soil mixed with leaf compost. In a sand pocket, they will avoid rot as well as slug attacks. Mark the planting location, as vegetation only starts in April. If you live in a region with particularly harsh winters, you can also plant them in early spring, as soon as the soil is workable.
When the stems reach 30 cm high, discreetly stake them. If red insects appear, treat them without delay, as they are lily beetles whose larvae can devour all the leaves. The most effective method is to catch them by hand, be careful, they drop as soon as you touch them, so put a box underneath.
After flowering, it is useful to cut the faded flowers halfway to keep the bed beautiful during the summer.
Tip for planting lilies in compact soil: The scaly bulbs of tall lilies fear clayey soils that suffocate them and cause rot. In Eastern Europe, they are planted on 'benches' built above ground level. These benches consist of a first layer of gravel, on which well-packed branches are placed. Then cover everything with a thick layer of leaf compost of 20 to 30 cm. Plant the bulbs in the compost, on which you can also let some creeping plants grow.
On the terrace, you can create sumptuous pots with lilies. Choose a container large and deep enough (at least 16 cm for a bulb). Fill it with a mixture of garden soil, leaf compost, and sand. Plant the lilies in groups of 3 to 5 bulbs depending on the pot size, 10-15 cm apart, then water generously. Place the pots in a cool room, or outside once the frost has passed. Make liquid fertilizer applications twice a month until the floral 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).
