Sumo LA Lily 'Falkland'

Open and welcoming, white blooms with great substance. Upward facing up to ten on a stem from these XL bulbs.

Sumo Lilies are the biggest and the best Lilium bulbs on offer. All the hard work has been done for you and these XL bulbs will bring you a big number of blooms from the get go. They are also faster to flower, so you won’t have to wait as long for their beauty.

Why Sumo? Originally produced for the floristry industry, these XL bulbs have grown so big they actually have too many blooms! While this is not so good in bunches, it is fantastic in gardens, allowing you a big number of blooms from the first season.

L.A. Lilies are a cross of Longiflorum and Asiatic Lilies that bring you the big blooms and strong stems of the Longiflorum Lilies with the gorgeous colours and endurance of the Asiatic Lilies. They are impressive , long lasting and have little to no fragrance.

As well as adding glamour to the garden, Sumo L.A. Lilies are tough, and able to withstand our hot summers. They are best planted in a permanent position, and can be left to naturalise/perennialise. They are great cut flowers too. We recommend planting them in groups of three or more for the best display.

It is a good idea to fertilise your 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 pelletised type such as Thrive or a 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 Liliums in part shade or morning sun, so your flowers will last longer.
