Lilium ‘Tiny Ink’ is a striking dwarf Asiatic lily known for its rich, velvety burgundy to deep red blooms that add bold contrast to summer gardens. Part of the compact “Tiny” lily series, this cultivar produces sturdy stems topped with several upward-facing flowers that create a dramatic display despite the plant’s smaller stature. The dark, almost ink-colored petals stand out beautifully against the clean green foliage, making it ideal for containers, patio planters, and the front of perennial borders. Blooming in early to mid-summer, ‘Tiny Ink’ provides vibrant color and reliable performance in sunny garden spaces.
