الوصف

Also known as the Regal Lily, this is a variety which has secured a truly amazing popularity. A favourite of the traditional English garden border, a well-established plant will produce as many as fifteen large trumpet shaped flowers of white flushed yellow, the outer petals tinged pinkish-purple, resting on 1.2-1.5m glossy green stems. These sweetly scented plants will flower throughout July and August. They are easy to grow and prefer a well-drained soil, ideally in a sheltered spot in full sunlight. Winner of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit. When planting, each bulb should surrounded with a little sharp sand both under and above the bulb to keep slugs away and to ward off excessive wetness. As most liliums are stem rooting we strongly recommend you plant at 15cm deep. They give a much better display when planted in clumps of3,6 or 12 bulbs, 45cm apart. Planting time is December to April. Lilium bulbs will greatly appreciate the shelter of low growing shrubs or other plants near their roots. In active growth, apply water freely and it is advised that every two weeks you apply a high potash liquid fertilizer. Please appreciate the size of the bulb you will recieve is a 24cm+ size bulb. A regular Lily Regale bulb will be 16/17 cm sized bulbs, ours are more mature bulbs and will produce more flowers and more height for you to enjoy in the first year of being in your garden.
