One favorite is the Asiatic hybrid \u2018Matrix\u2019. This dwarf variety will only get 16\u201d tall, and is a vibrant red with an orange brush mark in the center. We also carry tried-and-true Oriental Lily \u2018Casa Blanca\u2019 which gets 3-4\u2019 tall. The highly fragrant pure white blooms are perfect for a classic look.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"sunrise-combo_683\" src=\"\/\/www.christensensplantcenter.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sunrise-combo_683-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"683\" height=\"407\" data-id=\"4024\" data-init-width=\"683\" data-init-height=\"407\" data-width=\"683\" data-height=\"407\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This year, we\u2019re excited to offer three new Lilium combination pots.

Lily flowers, though stunning, are usually short lived, but with Bloom Extensions\u2122, you could get over 6 weeks of color. Two orange-flowering varieties, carefully selected to harmonize, have been potted together. The flowering times are offset, giving a seamless show of color. This is a great way to extend the display in your client\u2019s landscape. This is an ultra dwarf combo reaching only 12-14\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"combo-red-yellow_683\" src=\"\/\/www.christensensplantcenter.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/combo-red-yellow_683.jpg\" alt=\"red and yellow combo\" width=\"683\" height=\"488\" data-id=\"4018\" data-init-width=\"683\" data-init-height=\"488\" data-width=\"683\" data-height=\"488\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The third is Asiatic Pot Lily Looks\u2122 \u2018Bloom Extensions\u2122 \u2018Red &amp; Yellow\u2019.
