Double Asiatic Lily 'Must See'

A curious, spotted lily with variable shades of tangerine, cream, white and green. The colouring is unstable so each bulb is a surprise and the colour evolves as the blooms mature.

The flowers are pollen free, last well, are great for picking and sure to be a talking point. The narrow, semi double petals have a gentle frill that adds to the texture. The lack of pollen means no worry for allergies and no mess as well as increasing bloom time.

Double Asiatic Liliums average 4-8 blooms, with numbers increasing as the bulbs establish.

They make excellent cut flowers and are so easy to grow.

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

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