The award-winning ‘Anastasia’, a giant-sized lily, has been developed by crossing oriental and trumpet lilies. This 'super lily', has white blooms flushed with rosy-pink with lovely deep pink speckles around its throat, and once established, has as many as 25 flowers forming on the tall skyscraper spires, that can reach 2.5m in height. A wonderfully scented lily in bloom from mid-summer onwards.
Lilies can be planted at any time from early autumn to mid-spring. Planting in autumn often helps them settle in and become better established before they start to put on their new spring growth, but spring planting is a better option if your soil is heavy and wet during winter.
Choose a sunny spot, preferably where the plant receives a little light shade at its base, and plant each bulb 15-20cm (6-8in) deep in a well-drained soil, enriched with well-rotted organic matter or leaf mould. Space them at 30cm intervals and provide support before the flowers appear.
Deadhead the faded blooms promptly and cut the dead stems back to ground level at the end of autumn.
