Lilium ‘Casa Blanca’ is one of the most elegant and fragrant Oriental lilies, prized for its large, pure white blooms and powerful evening fragrance. The enormous outward-facing flowers feature broad, slightly recurved petals with a smooth satin texture and prominent reddish-brown anthers. Blooming in mid to late summer, the flowers sit atop tall, sturdy stems above glossy dark green foliage, creating a dramatic and refined presence in perennial borders and cutting gardens. Its luminous white blooms are especially striking in evening gardens where they seem to glow in low light while releasing their sweet perfume.
