Landini Lily is a dramatic, deep burgundy Asiatic lily that appears almost black in certain lighting. This early summer bloomer is prized for its bold color, easy maintenance, and striking visual impact in borders, containers, and mixed flower beds. It thrives in full sun, well-drained soil, and requires minimal care, making it an excellent choice for prairie and temperate gardens.

Planting & Growing Conditions

  • Hardiness Zone: 4-8 (cold-hardy but may need mulch protection in colder climates)
  • Mature Size: 3-4 feet tall, 12-18 inches wide
  • Growth Rate: Fast
  • Sunlight Needs:
    • Full sun to partial shade (best flowering in at least 6 hours of direct sun)
    • Prefers shaded roots with sun on the flowers (planting among low perennials can help)
  • Soil Requirements:
    • Prefers well-drained, loamy, or sandy soil
    • Enriched with compost or organic matter for best growth
    • Avoid wet, heavy clay soils, which can cause bulb rot
  • Spacing: 8-12 inches apart for optimal air circulation

Watering & Maintenance

  • Young Plants (First Year):
    • Water deeply 1-2 times per week to establish roots
  • Established Plants:
    • Requires moderate watering—keep soil moist but not soggy
    • Reduce watering after blooming to allow bulbs to harden
  • Mulching:
    • Apply a 2-inch layer of mulch to retain moisture and keep roots cool

Fertilizing

  • First Year: No fertilizer needed at planting—mix compost or organic matter into the soil
  • Mature Plants:
    • Apply a slow-release balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) in early spring
    • A second feeding after flowering strengthens the bulbs for next year’s bloom
    • Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, which encourage excessive leafy growth over flowers

Pruning & Maintenance

  • Best Time to Prune: After flowering (late summer to early fall)
  • How to Prune:
    • Remove spent flowers to prevent seed formation (redirects energy to the bulb)
    • Allow stems and leaves to naturally die back—this helps store energy in the bulb
    • Cut back dead foliage in fall to maintain garden tidiness

Flowers, Foliage & Seasonal Interest

  • Bloom Time: Early to mid-summer (June-July)
  • Flower Color:
    • Dark burgundy to almost black, satiny flowers
    • 6-8 inches wide, upward-facing blooms
  • Fragrance: Mild to none (not as fragrant as Oriental lilies)
  • Foliage:
    • Glossy green, lance-shaped leaves
    • Clump-forming habit, making it ideal for mass plantings

Pest & Disease Management

Resistant to: Deer, drought, and most common pests

Common Pests:

  • Lily Beetles – Red beetles that chew leaves
    • Solution: Handpick or use neem oil
  • Aphids – Can cause leaf curling and transmit viruses
    • Solution: Spray with insecticidal soap

Common Diseases:

  • Botrytis Blight (Fungal Leaf Spot) – Causes brown spots on leaves
    • Solution: Improve airflow, avoid overhead watering, apply fungicide if needed
  • Bulb Rot – Caused by overly wet conditions
    • Solution: Ensure good drainage and avoid overwatering

Winter Protection

  • Cold-hardy in Zones 4-8, but mulch heavily in colder regions (Zones 3-4)
  • Mulching:
    • Apply 2-4 inches of mulch in late fall to protect bulbs from freeze-thaw cycles
  • Container-Grown Lilies:
    • Move pots to a sheltered area or unheated garage to prevent deep freezing

Landscape Uses

Perfect for dramatic borders, cottage gardens, and mixed perennial beds
Excellent as a cut flower—long vase life and unique dark tones
Thrives in containers for patios or decks
Attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies
Deer-resistant and drought-tolerant once established

Companion Planting Ideas for Landini Lily:

  • White Asiatic Lilies – Creates a stunning contrast
  • Salvia & Russian Sage – Adds a blue-purple complement to dark blooms
  • Ornamental Grasses – Provides texture and movement
  • Hostas & FernsShade the roots while allowing blooms to shine
  • Daylilies & Echinacea – Extends the color season in summer beds

Additional Notes:

  • Lifespan: 5+ years with proper care
  • Easiest propagation method: Division of bulbs every 3-4 years
  • Highly recommended for beginner gardeners due to its resilience and adaptability

I love it!!!
Size: M Desk Unfinished 3/4-in and 1/2-in
Easy to assemble, all the pieces were in the box. I set everything out to be sure. Instructions were easy and clear, took about 10 min to put together. Seems to be quality pipe, strong stable build even at just hand tight. When I put the desk top on it was already level so bonus there. This kit is a great value, before I found the M desk I was looking on Pinterest for pipe leg designs thinking a trip to the hardware store and I could make it for cheaper, which was not the case. I 100% will recommend, and will purchase again.

Real steel pipe
Size: O Desk Unfinished 3/4-in and 1/2-in
This pipe table leg set was great. It's real steel pipe like from the hardware store. It does have a layer of oil on it so that must be stripped using dawn or some other degreaser before handleing and painting. It is also offset in the middle bar so if you use it as a desk you get more leg clearance. I used it as a table base so I bought matching middle braces to set the middle support in the center of the table. Once together it looks great. I highly recommend getting this if you want a good quality pipe base.

Price / Quality - Office Desk - Perfect
Size: H Desk Unfinished 3/4-in and 1/2-in
Purchased two sets to create a custom L shaped desk for the office. Placed a pine stained top. Perfect to handle a monitor, multiple laptops, normal office equipment. Extra benefit is the cross piece at the bottom as a foot rest. Very sturdy while sitting on carpet. Compared to normal pipe material purchased in large box store -- could not have asked for a better product for the price. Looking at other products for additional projects for around the house for the product and vendor. - Highly Recommend.

Fantastic style, good stability, customizable finish, and great customer service
Size: M Desk Unfinished 3/4-in and 1/2-in
Put this together in about April 2020 right about the crazy lockdown/quarantine/work-from-home timeframe. I knew that I wanted a simple hardwood desk with no drawers or stuff below the top. I have an ergonomic keyboard tray that I have attached to all my work desks for many years now, and it was too long for my old home desk, which was also made of MDF and was falling apart. Boo. Enter this kit plus a butcher block top from the big box store. This kit went together easily. I had lost the instructions but a quick email to the JS Supplies company, and they hooked me up. By the time they sent it, I had actually figured out the part that was puzzling, which was what the all-thread pieces were for (the couplers between the elbows and the flanges on the top side). I degreased all the parts with a simple Simple Green-type solution diluted in a 5 gallon bucket. I then sprayed the pieces with a satin nitrocellulose laqcuer (Minwax brand that I got from the home improvement big box). Worked great. I thought about doing a sealed rust finish using a science project volcano--vinegar and baking soda for a quick layer of rust on the outside--but I decided against it, as I wasn't sure of how stable the final product would be, even after a clear spray finish. The satin nitro finish looks great without even looking like a finish. I also coated the pieces with paste wax after the finish dried, just for good measure. The one thing that is a bit disappointing is the stability... WITH MY TOP, mind you.I should be clear that the top that I'm using is a 1-3/4" thick monster piece of birch butcher block that is 60" x 30". I'm guessing that it's 40-50 pounds? Maybe more. This is probably WAY more weight than this leg set is made for. I also have the aforementioned keyboard tray that sticks out (torque equals force times lever arm) and causes even more torque. I get some shaking with the top with this setup. I have the desk on carpet; I was concerned that maybe the carpet and pad were not giving enough stability with the feet, so I made some plywood platforms for the feet. I also carefully leveled the feet to make sure it wasn't just uneven legs that was causing the instability. Still shakes no matter what I tried. I think it's just that I have such a heavy top--more than this thing is spec'd for. That's totally fine, and I don't want to knock off a bunch of stars for that. I leave these comments more as a "don't do what I did" thing. Just be advised that you need to limit the weight of the top to something reasonable. The design of one upright on each side of the desk with a pipe coupler in between is probably the weak spot with my heavy desktop; I'm thinking of either adding tension on either side (with some threaded rod and turnbuckles) or some extra supports with something like the Steel-Tek pieces from Lowe's. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the product and the company!

So nice I bought twice!
Size: H Desk Unfinished 3/4-in and 1/2-in, Size: H Desk Unfinished 3/4-in and 1/2-in
For starters, this is a great buy if it is exactly what you want. For me that was the case and it would have cost me a good $40 or more to replicate it at a big box store. With that said, if you are not planning on using all of the pieces and want a different configuration, this may not be the kit for you. All of the parts inside are just like if you bought it at a local home improvement store. All the pipes need to be cleaned and protected. I personally found that dish soap (dry off immediately after you clean a piece) was the easiest to clean everything and I finished it with some wax. The kit is sturdy and easily supports the weight of my butcher block tops. I inverted the kit as it is designed as I intend on adding a shelf and am planning on using the support brace to aid in holding that shelf up for cable management. After cleaning and protecting, putting the kit together only took 5-10 minutes and that was with kid disruptions. I purchased 2 so that my wife and I could have matching desks in the office and I couldn't be happier.
