Care tips:

• To keep these lilies thriving, stake taller stems to protect them from strong winds - bamboo canes work perfectly.
• Watch out for lily beetles, as they can quickly damage foliage.
• Plant in fertile, well-drained soil with a bit of grit for better drainage, and choose a spot with light afternoon shade.
• Mulch in winter for extra protection, or lift and store bulbs if the soil stays too wet. Keep them well-watered during growth, feeding with a high-potassium fertiliser every two weeks from early spring until six weeks after flowering.
• Let the foliage die back naturally in autumn, and divide every 3–4 years for fresh, healthy blooms.
