The elegance of these cultivars is truly unmatched. They boast delectably double blooms, full of petals, that resemble roses.
Care Instructions: Liliums are hardy and easy to grow. They thrive best in a full sun or part shade position, with well-drained soil. Prepare a hole to a depth of 25cm and make the soil loose and friable. Plant the bulbs with the root system downwards, allowing for approximately 5cm of soil to cover.
Liliums have a dual feeding system. One root system establishes the flower stem, feeding the current season's flower. The second system comes from the bulb's basal plate, feeding the bulb directly and assisting in producing next year's flowers. Liliums can be fed at planting and repeat fed throughout their growing season. We recommend using Nitrophoska granule fertiliser alternating with sheep manure.
If you plan to use the blooms as cut flowers, leave at least 1/3 of the stem length on the bulb. This ensures the bulb maintains its size to produce next season's flower.
We believe these Double Liliums will add a spectacular touch to your garden or indoor space. Don't miss out on this delightful addition to your plant collection!
Happy Gardening!
