Description

A hybrid between Oriental and Trumpet strains of lily, every single giant, supersized floret oozes a wonderfully heady perfume - and each incredibly strong stem carries bold buttercup yellow blooms - more so year on year!

See large, trumpet shaped florets up to 20cm across each, in vibrant summer colour with darker anthers and rich green foliage. Believe us, anyone can grow them - they are totally winter hardy and low-maintenance, and they thrive in groups in borders or in pots on your patio.

And, as their name suggests, they grow incredibly tall - up to 1.5m in the first year and 2m thereafter - and will last for many years. Picture yourself cutting a stem for your vase, the warm scent drifting through your room, and the vibrant blooms becoming a focal point of your border or patio.

Plant in well-drained soil in a sun-soaked or partially shaded spot for soaring stems and abundant flowers that return year after year.

Supplied as three bulbs, size 16/18, ready to plant.

Top Tips

Once they have flowered your lilies will not bloom again until the following year, so be sure to plant them with other plants that look great later in the season.

Remove the faded flowers so that the plants don’t waste energy making seeds.

Care Information
  • As these lilies can grow tall, stake them against the wind - stout bamboo canes are ideal as they blend in with the stems.
  • Keep an eye out for lily beetles which can quickly defoliate your plants.
  • Plant in fertile, moist and well-drained soil - a layer of horticultural grit in the planting hole will help drainage.
  • Plant bulbs where the plants will benefit from light afternoon shade.
  • Mulch over winter to protect the bulbs from extreme cold, or if your ground lays wet, you may want to consider lifting and storing the bulbs.
  • Keep well-watered when in growth and give a high-potassium liquid fertilizer every two weeks from early spring until six weeks after flowering.
  • Leave the foliage until it turns brown in autumn.
  • Divide plants every three to four years, as new growth begins in the spring.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
