Lily 'Tiny Rocket'

Lily ‘Tiny Rocket’ (Lilium asiatic ‘Tiny Rocket’) is a dwarf Asiatic hybrid lily celebrated for its vivid orange-red, trumpet-shaped blooms and compact habit. In early to mid-summer, each sturdy stem carries 4–6 upward-facing flowers that light up borders, rock gardens, and containers. Its tidy, deep-green foliage remains neat all season, and at just 30–40 cm (12–16 in) tall, it’s perfect for small spaces. Thriving in full sun to part shade in well-drained soil, it’s hardy in Canadian zones 3–8 and offers low-maintenance, long-lasting color.
