Detailed Information

Lilium ‘Viva La Vida’ is a hybrid lily, meaning it’s a cross between different lily species. Therefore, it doesn’t have a single “native region” in the traditional sense. Its parentage likely includes species from:

* **Asia:** Many lily species originate from Asia, particularly Japan, Korea, and China.
* **Europe:** Some lily species are native to Europe.
* **North America:** A few lily species are native to North America.

Given the popularity of Asiatic hybrids like ‘Viva La Vida’, it’s most likely that **its lineage leans heavily on Asian lily species.** However, without knowing the exact parentage (which is often proprietary information for hybrid cultivars), it’s impossible to pinpoint a more specific geographical origin.

**In summary:** ‘Viva La Vida’ doesn’t have a single native region. It’s a hybrid with ancestry likely primarily in Asia, but potentially with contributions from Europe and North America.
