There is no cheerier flower than the bright yellow Tiny Bee Lily. This is a dwarf Asiatic LIly that does not get bigger than a foot tall and wide but produces flowers for almost a month in midsummer. The large yellow flowers open atop compact stems, just the right size for a container placed in even the smallest space.
Tiny Bee is resistant to fungal disease and root rot and is part of the Lily Looks™ range of ornamental Lilies bred in Holland. These cultivars are bred to be extremely easy to grow and very compact. Place Tiny Bee at the front of a garden bed, a rock garden, or a container of mixed seasonal plants to add a punch of bright yellow.
Tiny Bee Asiatic Lily Care
Plant Tiny Bee in full sun to part shade and provide fast-draining soil. Lilies are bulbs that do not tolerate having wet feet at any time of the year. Allow one inch of water a week from natural rain or supplemental irrigation. Check containers daily for watering needs. The top 1-2 inches of soil should be allowed to dry between waterings. Fertilize early in the growing season with a granular feed for bulbs or other flowering perennials.
Deadhead Tiny Bee when the flowers die off. Carefully remove the whole bloom without disturbing any still-developing flowers on the stem. Allow the foliage to die back naturally before removing it. The leaves produce food for the bulb to overwinter and produce large flowers for the following season. Mulching with a 2-3 inch layer of shredded leaves or arborist chips will add insulation to the soil and protection from cold temperatures.
Tiny Bee Asiatic Lily Spacing
Tiny Bee matures to a height of 12-14 inches and a spread of 12 inches. Space multiple plants 12 inches apart center on center. Grow each plant in a container with at least an 8-inch diameter.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
