Lilium 'African Queen'
Enormous, fragrant trumpets! Part of the next generation of Trumpet Lilies. The lofty stems will stretch to almost 2m once they have settled in.
Trumpet Lily ‘African Queen’ is a fuss free way of adding height, colour and fragrance to your garden. The enormous, deep copper to rockmelon coloured floral trumpets are extremely heat tolerant and grow to a whopping 20cm across. The petal reverse has a strong purple blush.
Trumpet Lily ‘African Queen’ is a hybrid of Lily ‘Copper King’.
Simply plant, 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. Don’t forget they are great for picking!
