Asiatic lilies are one of the easiest to grow. They're not fussy about soil, although they don't like wet feet, and they are very hardy. Winter mulching in colder climates is a good idea, unless you have heavy, poorly drained soil.
Most Asiatic lilies are also sturdy enough to not need staking. They have large blooms with a strong, sweet scent. Hummingbirds love them too.
