Description

Asiatic Lilies are essential for any summer garden due to their easy-growing nature, making them perfect for cut flowers and colourful garden beds. Each bulb produces 4 to 5 blooms in the summer, with stems ranging from 80 cm to 110 cm tall, displaying long, slender, glossy leaves. Bred for their bright colours, Asiatic Lilies come in shades from white to deep burgundy. The bulbs flower approximately 13 weeks after planting, with each bulb producing up to 4-5 blooms. Asiatic Lilies are non-fragrant and prefer cool climate zones.

Liliums require well-drained soil; heavy or clay soils are unsuitable as they can cause the bulbs to rot. Protection from strong winds is recommended to prevent damage to the stems and flowers. Liliums prefer a full sun position and are ideal for growing in pots and containers. For best results, use a potting mix designed for bulbs and fertilise regularly.

Supplied as a pack of two dormant bulbs.

CAUTION: Harmful if eaten; skin and eye irritant.

How to Plant

Liliums thrive when planted in clusters, making them excellent companion plants. Whether in pots or garden beds, planting them in groups ensures proper growth. Position the bulbs so they lean slightly inward to encourage mutual support for the tall stems, and place a stake in the center for additional support as they grow. An ideal location is one that offers full sun to partial shade with some protection from the wind.
Soil

Enjoys a well drained, slightly acidic, organic rich soil. Prepare the soil with well-rotted animal manure or a complete fertiliser before planting.
Fertilise

Fertilise regularly during spring with a complete fertiliser. Liliums may require staking, especially if located in a shady location, more shade results in taller stems. Enjoys being left undisturbed.
Watering

Water regularly during the warmer months.
Prunning

Prune plants down to ground level once the foliage has died off completely, but no earlier. Bulbs can be left in the ground to naturalise for several years without having to transplant them. If you are planning to lift and separate your bulbs, this should be done in autumn. Replant without delay. Liliums dislike being moved and wet feet.
They are generally pest resistant; aphids may be a problem but easily dealt with.
