Depends on the variety, lilies have cup-shaped, chalmoid, funnel-shaped, tubular or campanulate flowers. The height of the lilies varies 0.5 in front of 2 m. Low varieties can be planted as a curb, and tall ones - like tapeworms and for the background of a flower garden. Lilies are often planted in groups: isolated islands of various species, or combined with other perennials and annuals. Light pink hydrangeas and lilac phlox form a profitable field for the sake of pink and white lilies

Lilies are also good for the frontal plan of trees, if a thick greenish crown plays a background for the sake of a royal flower or a short group formed of 2-3 lilies. The low future is completely underscored by the paths and flowerbeds, while the varieties are chosen for the mixborders for no reason, so as to see the summer blossom and the beginning of the sunrise with flowering of royal flowers.

In a landscape design, a flower garden made from lilies of different groups or from different species of one group planted with 2 or 3 tiers successfully looks. This multi-tier array of lilies looks very nice. For the frontal plan, low varieties of lilies form a beautiful rug - they are picked up between"Asian"or LA-hybrids, blooming in advance of other species.
The desire that the present lower tier of lilies bloom first, and then the finger and the elevated tier of planting begin to bloom - they are formed from tall oriental or OT-hybrids of lilies. Low future garden colors of the blue palette will create a more successful opposite with white-pink lilies
Being planted by lily species groups is the desire to divide tiers with other plants. For the sake of planting before the lilies, low conifers perfectly spread out to the sides and covering the earth perfectly match.

However, if all the same, eat the will to plant the queen and queen of the garden together, then the desire to arrange tall lilies with dark flowers behind the light bushes of climbing roses. Roses look great also with lilies of similar color. Low monophonic lilies make a neat society with ground cover or clinging roses of a similar color
If the rose grows in a single planting, it is already a colorful composite spot, therefore, close to the pink bush, lilies are planted in small groups in 3-5 copies if they are lost for its background. Variation #4 - lilies and phloxes
Not all the future phloxes are in harmony with the lilies - the sharp blue and violet tones of the phlox panicle in tandem with the lily will look superfluous variegated. However, creeping phlox varieties of blue or tender lilac color, blooming in the early spring, will form a good field for the sake of growing lily shoots. In summer, the shiny leathery leaves of the phlox will create a typical frame for the frontal plan of planting of lilies, and in the winter serve as a mulching layer.
