Impressive, bright yellow trumpets with slightly recurved petals and a red flush on the outer surface, 'Golden Splendor' is a tall, award-winning lily that can be used to great effect to lend colour and drama to late summer in mixed or perennial plantings.
Lilies are best planted in the autumn, when the bulbs are still plump, but they can still be planted in spring. Between August and March choose a sunny spot where the plant can keep its feet in the shade. Plant 15-20cm (6-8in) deep in a well-drained soil, enriched with well-rotted organic matter or leaf mould, using a marker to minimise any unnecessary disturbance. Stake with ring stakes or bamboo canes in spring before the flowers appear. Deadhead the faded blooms and cut the stems back to ground level at the end of autumn.
- Cats: TOXIC if eaten; Humans/Pets: Ornamental bulbs - not to be eaten
