Lilytopia 2025 brings over 10,000 fragrant lilies in more than 50 vibrant varieties, set against a dreamy recreation of Venice, Italy. Get ready for a feast of colour, culture, and scent as this multi-sensory floral display celebrates 60 years of diplomatic friendship between Singapore and Italy.

More than 10,000 Lilies

Families can expect more than 10,000 lilies of over 50 varieties to add pretty splashes of colour and perfume the air with their sweet scents. Lilytopia showcases lilies in uncommon forms and striking colours, beyond the traditional single-petal varieties familiar to most people. Some highlights of double-petal varieties include:

• Lilium ‘Alanno’: an elegant, double-petal roselily cultivar, known for its rose-like appearance and magenta-pink petals edged in crisp white

• Lilium ‘Snow World’: an elegant, full white double-petal roselily cultivar

More than 20 varieties lilies on display this year were cultivated in-house by Gardens by the Bay’s horticulturists. The is the first time that the lilies were mass cultivated in Gardens by the Bay from bulbs. Some of the highlights include:

• Lilium ‘Beverly Gold’: a speckle-free, double-petal lily in bright yellow, known for its tidy, polished appearance
• Lilium ‘Caddy’: large, double-petal orange blooms, known for its vibrance and impressive flower size

The lily palette is complemented by a tapestry of other colourful blooms, including sweeping blankets of hydrangeas, calla lilies, and cannas.

A Showcase of Italian Culture

Beyond the fragrant and dramatic blooms, Lilytopia will transport you to Venice with recreations of the city-state’s life and culture, such as:

• Waterways: An artistic interpretation of Venice's famous canals flows through the display, created using blue-hued hydrangeas. These waterways are flanked by charming Italian alleyways with characteristic houses and artisan shopfronts. A traditional gondola, representing Venice's distinctive mode of transportation, complete this picturesque scene.
  

• St Mark’s Square: A recreation of the famed Piazza San Marco features a towering bell tower alongside prominent arches adorned with intricate masks celebrating the Carnevale di Venezia, Venice's world-renowned festival famous for its masks and costumes.
  

• Nonna’s kitchen: Step into the heart of Italian family life with this recreation of an Italian grandmother’s kitchen. Copper pots and pans line the kitchen with a traditional wood-fire oven.
  

• Limoncello corner: A charming limoncello stall in iconic blue and white hues showcases Italy's beloved citrus liqueur. Conceived on the sun-kissed shores of southern Italian regions at the turn of the 20th century, this beloved drink celebrates the famed lemons Sfusato Amalfitano grown on steep terraces since at least the 15th century.

• Wine barrels: A showcase of Italy's renowned winemaking tradition features recreation of oak barrels that are key to Italian viticulture. These barrels allow tiny amounts of oxygen to enter over time, which helps mellow the wine, while adding notes of vanilla, spice, or subtle smoke.
• Italian craftsmanship: Delicate Burano lace umbrellas and Murano glass pieces from Italy showcase the intricate crafts of the country.

Towering over such charming scenes is St Mark’s Tower – a landmark of the iconic public square at the heart of Venice.
