This assorted mix brings together large Oriental lilies in shades of white, soft pink and deep rose, each with bold markings and prominent, curved petals. The flowers are sizeable and showy, creating a strong focal point in summer borders.
Many blooms feature speckles, flushed centres or gentle colour gradients, giving the collection plenty of variation while still feeling cohesive. The combination of tones works well in mixed planting schemes, adding height and a classic, elegant look making them excellent for cutting as well as garden display.
Planted together, these bulbs produce a long-lasting, fragrant show with reliable mid- to late-summer colour.

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 15-30cm (6-12in) 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.
