Lilium ‘Tiny Bee’ is a compact Asiatic lily known for its cheerful bright yellow, upward-facing blooms and tidy dwarf habit. Part of the “Tiny” lily series, this cultivar produces sturdy stems topped with clusters of vibrant flowers that appear in early to mid-summer. Its smaller size makes it ideal for containers, small garden spaces, and the front of perennial borders. The clean, lance-shaped green foliage forms a neat clump, while the vivid blooms add a strong splash of color and attract pollinators. Like most Asiatic lilies, it is easy to grow and provides reliable flowering year after year.
