Asiatic lilies are a type of lily that is native to Asia. They are one of the most popular types of lilies due to their large, showy flowers. Asiatic lilies come in a wide range of colors, including white, yellow, pink, purple and red. One of the most distinctive features of Asiatic lilies is their black balls.
The black balls on Asiatic lilies are actually seeds that are contained within the flower's ovary. When the flower blooms, the ovary enlarges and turns black, creating the distinctive seed balls. The seeds contained within the black balls are what allow Asiatic lilies to reproduce.
While the black balls may be an interesting feature for some gardeners, they can also be a source of frustration. If you don't want your Asiatic lilies to produce seeds, you will need to remove the seed balls before they mature. This can be a difficult and time-consuming task, as each seed ball must be carefully cut from the plant without damaging the flower itself.
