• World-Class Fragrance: 'Snowy Mountain' possesses one of the most potent and sweet scents in the lily family, making it an essential choice for sensory gardens and evening relaxation areas.

• Architectural Presence: With its bold, broad-leaved foliage and rigid stems, this variety provides a strong vertical element that maintains its structure throughout the growing season.

• The Ultimate Cut Flower: Prized by florists for its long vase life and elegant form, a single stem creates an instant, luxury centerpiece that fills the home with its signature fragrance.

Gardener's Tip

To keep the pure white petals of 'Snowy Mountain' looking flawless, try to water the plant at the base rather than over the flowers, as water droplets can occasionally cause spotting in intense midday sun. Because Oriental lilies prefer slightly acidic soil, mixing some ericaceous compost into the planting hole will give them the perfect environment to thrive. If you find the fragrance too strong for a small indoor space, simply removing the pollen-heavy anthers with a tissue will slightly reduce the scent intensity and prevent any staining on fabrics.
