Lilium
Lilies are versatile, showy plants for the border or for deep containers.
Most are easily grown, given a fertile soil, with varieties available to suit a range of differing conditions, from woodland to sun-baked. Many varieties are richly scented.
All the varieties we offer are tolerant of some lime in the soil. Note that most varieties will not achieve optimum height in their first season.
