Matisse Asiatic Lilium 'Yellow Brush'

Coming from the age of love and flower power, in the 1960s, Lilium 'Corsage' has dazzled gardeners for over half a century. Up to 20 charming flowers can open on the strong, branching stems.

The majestic blooms are soft pink, fading to cream with a smattering of maroon spots and grow 10-15cm across.

The colourful, spotted petals of Tiger Lilies add an element of playful character to the garden palette. They are easy to grow and care for and bloom abundantly through summer.

Tiger Lilies have stood the test of time, they were hybridised for gardens, not florists, this means they are both easy to grow and packed with flowers (florists need stems that fit in bunches).

Gardeners are returning the 'old fashioned' Tiger Lilies because of their hardy nature and nostalgic charm. They are less bright flashy (some may say gaudy) than those grown for cut flowers, but just as appealing and last really well in a vase.

Plant Lilium 'Corsage' in a permanent position in the garden, the longer they establish the more flowers they will bear. Ensure you fertilise well, this will promote the best blooms. In warmer climates, grow in part shade or morning sun so the flowers last longer.

Plant Tiger Lilies into humus rich, moist, well drained soil. Water to establish and keep moist during growth and flowering.
