Regal lily

This all time classic is hard to find and easy to grow.

This vigorous Lilium can stretch up to 2m tall. The strong stems bearing up to 25 flowers at once. The bouquet is unbelievable, especially at night.

The flowers are large, trumpet blooms with a purple outer flush and golden heart. The narrow, mid green leaves have a nice gloss and grow along the stem.

Regal Liliums are hardy and the flowers open from midsummer, lasting well in both gardens and vases.

Simply plant, your Regal Liliums, fertilise and enjoy. Leave them in the ground to establish and they will bring you years of joy. Choose a humus rich, well drained soil in a sunny location – half a day of sun is perfect. Liliums appreciate afternoon shade, especially in warmer climates.

Water in, and keep moist during active growth. It is a good idea to add fertiliser and mulch in autumn and summer, as the bulbs are coming and going.
