Pollen Free Lilium Easy Beat
Mid sized blooms, almost like a tropical delight of tangerine and orange tones with a hint of apricot.
This is both pollen and fragrance free! Ideal for those with allergies, we tested it on 2 people who are highly allergic to lilies (bordering on hospitalisation if exposed) and both parties were able to have them in the house! A shorter grower to 80cm, with brilliant red blooms and an almost black throat.
In general the Lilium family is very hardy. Easy to grow Liliums perform best in a full sun or part shade position, with well drained soil. Prepare a hole to a depth of 25cm, making the soil loose and friable. Plant the bulbs with the root system downwards allowing for approximately 5cm of soil to cover.
Liliums have a dual feeding system. One root system establishes to the flower stem, feeding the current seasons flower. The second system comes from the bulbs basal plate, and feeds the bulb directly, assisting to make next years flowers. Liliums can be fed at planting, and repeat fed through out their growing season. We use Nitrophoska granule fertiliser alternating with sheep manure.
If you intend on picking the blooms, leave at least 1/3 of the stem length on the bulb to ensure the bulb maintains its size to produce next seasons flower.
