Fresh lilies are generally available from mid-October to November. Vacuum-packed, lilies are available at any time.

Lanzhou lily is a perennial herbaceous plant. Its scientific name is "LiLum davidi var unicdor cotton". It is named because its underground stems are composed of dozens of overlapping scales, which means the synthesis of a hundred scales. Lily is a vegetable with high nutritional and health value and extremely high edible value.

"Lanzhou Lily" has high sugar content, low crude fiber, delicate meat, and other beneficial ingredients. It was first planted in the 33rd year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1605) and has a history of more than 400 years. Jiangsu Yixing (Medicine Lily), Gansu Lanzhou (Sweet Lily), Hunan Longhui, and Jiangxi Yongfeng (Aralia Lily) are the four major lily producing areas in the country.

After the liberation of the country, the development of Lanzhou Lily experienced setbacks and finally achieved development. In 1974, Wang Yaohua, the former Secretary of the Lanzhou Municipal Party Committee, held a Municipal Standing Committee meeting in Yuanjiawan Village and designated the village as a Lily base village to solve relevant problems and promote development.

After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in 1978, the focus of work shifted to economic construction. The minds of cadres and the masses were gradually liberated and their motivation became stronger and stronger, especially in the direction of market economy. Afterwards, the cadres and the masses became more energetic and developed faster.

As of 1999, the lily planting area in Qilihe District alone reached more than 22,000 acres, with a total output of more than 8.5 million kilograms. In 1999, it was tested by the Food Inspection Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Lanzhou lily fully qualified as a "green food" Standard, and won the title of "Chinese Time-honored Brand" and the "Famous Brand" of the 99 China National Agricultural Expo and the Gold Medal of the 7th China International Food Expo in 2001.

In December 2001, the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce awarded the "Lanzhou Lily" certification trademark to Qilihe District. In September 2004, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine began to provide long-term protection for the origin area of ??Lanzhou lily. Lanzhou lily industry Chemicalization has also been listed as a "National Mountain Agricultural Industrialization Pilot Demonstration Project; and the latest news is that in March 2014," the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce has recognized the "Lanzhou Lily" certification trademark as a well-known trademark in China.

The confirmation of the well-known trademark "Lanzhou Lily" means that the brand's taste has been improved again, providing a strong guarantee for further expanding and strengthening the Lanzhou lily industry.
