Asiatic Lilium 'Pearl Lorraine'

Bashful, watermelon pink flowers in abundance.

I It is hard to sing their praises enough! These flowers have a refined elegance that is hard to surpass. They grow to a handy height and produce plenty of flowers, up 20 can open on a stem. Each bloom is around 15cm across and is outward to slightly pendent, coy in their beauty.

Pearl Asiatic Lilies have a softness to the flower colour that makes them really stand out in a crowd. What is more is they are on show for up to four weeks, which makes them terrific value.

Pearl Asiatic Lilies generally flower late December/January but will usually bloom a little earlier in their first year. They make excellent, lasting cut flowers and are really easy to grow.

Choose a humus rich, well drained soil in a sunny location. They will appreciate afternoon shade in warmer climates. Simply plant, your Pearl Asiatic Lilies, fertilise and enjoy. Leaving them in the ground to establish and they will bring you years of joy.

Keep your lilies moist while in growth and fertilise at the start of the season and again as the flowers are finishing for the best results. Mulching over the summer will help to maintain moisture levels in the soil.

They will take 10-14 weeks to flower from planting depending on the weather.
