Lily ‘Mexican Fiesta’ (Asiatic Lily) is a vibrant early-summer blooming lily known for its bold, multi-toned flowers. The blooms typically feature rich red to deep orange petals with darker accents, creating a striking, festive appearance. Flowers are held upright on strong stems above clean, lance-shaped green foliage. This variety is valued for its sturdy growth, reliable performance, and excellent use in borders and cut flower arrangements. Asiatic lilies are generally unscented but very dependable in colder climates.
