Thompson and Morgan Lily Giant Flowered Collection Planting Bulb 15 Pack

An impressive display, the Lily ‘Giant Flowered Collection’ features a mixture of three giant-flowered lilies, including ‘Pretty Woman White’, ‘Primrose Hill’ and ‘Tasman’. Plant this collection in borders or along pathways for maximum impact with their large, exotic blooms, strong fragrance and towering, stately stems. The thick, sturdy stems require little to no staking, reaching heights of up to 180cm, while their narrow habit allows for a big floral display even in smaller spaces. These oriental lilies thrive in moist, free-draining, neutral to acidic soil rich in organic matter. Incorporate plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost before planting for the best start. When planting in containers, use a loam-based compost like John Innes No.2. Plant lily bulbs approximately three times their height deep and 15cm (6”) apart. Deep planting helps protect the bulbs during hot periods. Choose a sheltered, sunny spot where the lilies can grow with their heads in the sun and roots in the shade. Feed and water regularly throughout the growing season, keeping the soil consistently moist. Deadhead faded blooms at the base of the flower to prevent seed pod development. After flowering, leave the stems intact until they begin to yellow in autumn. Reduce watering and move container-grown lilies to a cool, frost-free location over winter. Lilies grown in borders can be lifted, cleaned, and stored for the winter, but in milder climates, most lilies should survive outdoors if the soil isn't too wet. Position: Full Sun/Partial Shade. Height: Up to 180cm when fully established. Spread: Up to 45cm when fully established. Supplied as 15 x Lily ‘Giant Flowered Collection’ bulbs.
