Lily ‘Bogeyman’ (Asiatic Lily) is a striking early summer blooming lily known for its rich, dark coloration. The flowers are typically deep burgundy to near-black with a glossy finish, creating bold contrast against the upright green foliage. This variety produces multiple blooms per stem and has strong, sturdy stems that make it excellent for garden display and cut flower use. Asiatic lilies are generally unscented but are valued for their vibrant colour and reliable performance.
