Product Description
Also known as the Regal Lily, this is a variety which has secured a truly amazing popularity. A favourite of the traditional English garden border, a well-established plant will produce as many as fifteen large trumpet shaped flowers of white flushed yellow, the outer petals tinged pinkish-purple, resting on 1.2-1.5m glossy green stems. These sweetly scented plants will flower throughout July and August. They are easy to grow and prefer a well-drained soil, ideally in a sheltered spot in full sunlight. We supply large 20-22cm circumference bulbs for a spectacular display.

Growing at a glance…
Lily bulbs will greatly appreciate the shelter of low growing shrubs or other plants near their roots. In active growth, apply water freely a high potash liquid fertilizer every two weeks or so. When planting, each bulb should surrounded with a little sharp sand both under and above the bulb to keep slugs away and to ward off excessive wetness. As most lilies are stem rooting, we strongly recommend you plant about 15cm deep. They give a much better display when planted in clumps of 3, 6 or 12 bulbs, spaced 45cm apart. Plant from December to April to see them appear in summer.
