Oriental Lilium 'Donacion'
Think pink.
This product is currently out of stock and unavailable.
Tall, strong stems with up to ten big, upward facing, strawberry pink flowers, that blush deeper at their heart. A lovely fragrance and great for picking.
Lilium ‘Donacion’ is an O.T. hybrid, which means it is a cross between an Oriental and a Christmas or Triumph Lily. So you get the best of both worlds, trumpet shaped blooms with good fragrance.
It is easy to create an indulgent display of colour with O.T. Liliums. They are gorgeous in the garden and perfect for cut flowers too. Their heady fragrance permeates the summer garden with its sophisticated notes.
As well as adding glamour and fragrance to the garden, O.T. Lilies are also tough, and able to withstand our hot summers. They are best planted in a permanent position where, as they establish will become more floriferous.
It is a good idea to fertilise your O.T. Lilies, they are hungry bulbs and this will help to give you the best blooms. Adding an organic fertiliser when you first see growth, then again as they are fading is ideal. If you are growing your Lilies in pots, fertiliser is even more important and in this case a slow release pellet such as Thrive or a regular application of liquid fertiliser is best. Water to establish, and keep moist in active growth for best results.
In warmer climates, it is a good idea to grow your O.T. Liliums in part shade or morning sun, so your flowers will last longer.
