Tiny Ghost Lily (Lilium a. 'Tiny Ghost') is a Dwarf Asiatic Lily that is hardy in USDA zones 2 through 8. Growing 12-14 inches high and 10-12 inches across, this lily is perfect for borders and containers. Its classic, trumpet-shaped, midsummer blooms are deep reddish-purple.
The Tiny Ghost Lily’s large, starburst-shaped flowers face upward, and the leaves are a classic lance shape. This lily has a clumping, upright growth habit that looks great in rock gardens. Perfect for beginners, the Tiny Ghost Lily is low maintenance and has good deer resistance.
Tiny Ghost Lily Care
For best results, grow the Tiny Ghost Lily in a location that gets at least 4 to 6 hours of sun per day. Tiny Ghost Lilies prefer well-draining soil, but are adaptable to other soil types. Tiny Ghost grows best in moist soil, but will tolerate brief periods of dryness. Watering in the morning will allow the foliage to dry out during the day which cuts down on pest and disease problems.
Apply a slow-release fertilizer to the flower bed or container in the early spring. When this plant is in bloom, use a phosphorus-rich 5-10-10 fertilizer. Deadhead regularly during the growing season. Then, cut back the browned flower stalks in the late fall and lay a couple inches of mulch over the bulbs for winter.
Tiny Ghost Lily Spacing
Lilies will grow outward and need space to spread. The Tiny Ghost Lily should be spaced out about 10-12 inches between plants for best growth results.

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.
