Lily Collection

Choosing a lily starts with its height: the stems in this collection range from tabletop size to tall spikes of nearly a meter. White Casablanca, speckled Rubrum, double orientals: each variety has its own petal design.

Height dictates the vase

A short stem, around 65 cm, sits in a table vase and stays below eye level. The longest spikes, close to a meter, call for a heavy vase and a spot on the floor or on a console. The rule is simple: the container should be about one third of the total height.

Casablanca, Rubrum, double oriental

Casablanca is the pure white, large-flowered lily, the one that brightens a dark entryway. Rubrum plays on pink and speckles, livelier up close, and holds its own in a mixed bouquet. The double oriental multiplies the petals for a denser flower, where the pistil is barely visible.

The pistil and the silhouette

On a lily, everything comes down to the long pistil and the petals curving backward: this movement is what makes the flower, and it should not be pressed against a wall. Give each stem room to breathe, even if it means using fewer. An artificial lily has no pollen, so no orange stains on your linens.

Frequently asked questions

Which lily height should you choose?

Start with the container: a 65 cm stem for a table vase, 90 cm or more for a large floor vase. It is better to get it right from the start than to hope to adjust the stem afterward.

Can lilies be mixed with other flowers?

Yes, as long as the lily takes center stage, since its wide bloom sets the rhythm. Fine foliage and two or three smaller stems are enough to surround it.

How do you care for a tall stem?

Dust the petals one by one with a soft brush, from the center to the tip. Stored upright out of season, the stem keeps its original curve.
