This collection offers three spectacular skyscraper lilies, each reaching up to 2.5?m over a few seasons, with large, dramatic, and highly scented blooms in pink, white, and yellow tones. Perfect for summer impact, cut flowers, and adding height and elegance to borders.
In this collection you will receive 1 bulb each of:
Lilium 'Anatasia': 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. Grows to 2.5m.
Lilium 'Miss Peculiar': Large (up to 25cm or 10in across) trumpet-shaped flowers form on the stems of this stunning lily in midsummer. Each one is a tropical-looking blend of white, pink and yellow, which makes them really easy to mix. Ideal for adding height to the border in summer, the spectacular blooms of Lilium 'Miss Peculiar' could also be cut for the vase. Grows to 2.5m.
Lilium 'Eastern Moon': Tall, elegant stems carry glossy green foliage and showcase this skyscraper or tree lily at its best. Its large, downward-facing flowers open in soft pale pink, each with a striking lime-green and yellow centre that draws the eye. Highly scented blooms make it perfect for cut flowers or adding fragrance to borders. Flowering in summer, it thrives in sunny or partially shaded spots. Grows to 2.5m.
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.
