Lilium ‘Matrix’, Matrix Lily, Dwarf Asiatic Lily ‘Matrix’

Make a bold statement in your garden with the Matrix Asiatic Lily, a compact yet vibrant variety known for its large, fiery red-orange blooms. With its intense color and upward-facing flowers, Matrix adds a striking pop to borders, beds, and containers. Each bloom is long-lasting, creating a dazzling display in early to midsummer that’s sure to turn heads.

Standing at just 16 to 20 inches tall, Matrix is a dwarf lily. Its sturdy, upright stems support multiple blossoms, making it ideal for small gardens, patios, or even balcony containers.

Low maintenance and reliable, the Matrix Asiatic Lily thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to a variety of soil conditions, as long as drainage is good. It’s an excellent choice for both beginner and seasoned gardeners looking to add vivid color and structure with minimal effort. Bring home the Matrix Lily and enjoy a burst of summer brilliance year after year.

Care Instructions

Planting: Plant in well-draining soil at the same depth as in the nursery pot, spaced 12–18 inches apart.

Sunlight: Choose an area with full sun or partial shade for optimal growth and flowering.

Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy, especially during dry periods. Be mindful of watering to prevent root rot.

Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer in spring to support healthy growth. Avoid over-fertilizing to prevent weak stems.

Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage new blooms. Cut back stems to the ground after flowering to promote fresh growth.

Spacing: Space plants 12–18 inches apart to ensure good air circulation and prevent overcrowding.

Maintenance: Apply mulch in spring to help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. In the fall, remove any dormant foliage.
