Matisse Asiatic Lilium 'Night Rider'

Deepest purple-red petals with a satin sheen. The upward facing flowers last well and provide brilliant contrast in the garden. This exotic choice will definitely add some sizzle to your summer.

Using black in the garden will help other colours intensify and pop. It is especially good with reds and oranges.

This is an Asiapet Lily a hybrid of Christmas/Trumpet Lilies with Asiatic Lilies. They have the great form of the Trumpet and lasting colour of the Asiatic parent. It is part of a new generation of lilies you will see more of over the coming years. They flower just a touch later than Asiatics.

These summer superstars offer bright and lasting colour with their abundant, upward facing flowers that are fantastic for picking.

Simply plant, your Asiatic Lilies, 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 with protection from the hot afternoon sun. Water in well, then keep moist while in growth for best results. A sprinkling of fertiliser at the start of the season and again as the flowers are finishing will serve them well. Mulching over the summer will help to maintain moisture levels in the soil.
