'Red Velvet' is an erect Asiatic lily, bearing racemes of medium to large, flat, bowl-shaped, deep red flowers. This is a showy plant for planting in the shrubbery or herbaceous border. Deadhead spent flowers, but wait until stems and leaves turn yellow to cut back to within a few inches of the ground. Spring and fall are the best time to transplant, even though they can be transplanted any time. Provide ample moisture while flowering, but can take periods of drought otherwise.
