Dwarf and dainty, these liliums pack out a high volume of flowers and look spectacular when grown in pots or borders within the garden.
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.
Happy Gardening!
