Scarlet Lily Beetle (LILIOCERIS LILII) 

This scarlet coloured pest can feed on lily and fritillaria foliage in spring to early summer. Bulbs can become under-sized and flowering the following year can be jeopardised. These pests can be seen in their various stages of growth and are all equally dangerous. Reddish brown eggs lead onto grubs and then finally to bright red beetles with black head and legs.

* Please note - Although these lilies are listed as 'Pollen-free Lilies', in extreme weather conditions, lilies can get stressed and, in turn, this can cause the lilies to produce stamen. 

** As with lots of plants/flowers in the garden, lilies are toxic to pets if ingested. Not just the stamen but the foliage and flowers too. Pets do not tend to eat lilies but the problem with lilies occurs when cats or dogs brush past the stamen and then lick if off their fur. We advise opting for pollen-free lilies and keeping your lilies up high and away from fences or windowsills where cats can easily brush against the flower heads that have stamen.

How to plant Oriental Trumpet Lilies

• Arrange the Lilies in an odd-number grouping.
• Plant 3 bulbs in a 10-14" 'patio type' pot using good-quality, multi-purpose compost.
• We recommend mixing 50:50 Multipurpose Compost and John Innes No.3 for all lilies.
• Plant the bulbs with 10-15cm (4-6") of soil above them.
• Ensure the bulbs have plenty of drainage.

How to care for Roselilies

• Roselilies can tolerate very cold conditions but they do not like to get wet.
• If planting in borders in the garden, the soil must be well drained and, preferably, humus rich.
• If planting in pots, make sure lilies are kept moist but do not get waterlogged.
• Lilies prefer to be planted in a location with at least half a day’s full sunshine, if it’s a bit too shady they will lean their stems towards the sun.
• Lily bulbs do not like to be dried out so they must be kept in soil at all times.
• Try to plant your lilies where they will dry out after rain to prevent Botrytis, a fungus that spots the leaves. If you do see brown spots on your leaves, spray with a fungicide recommended for roses.
• If planting in pots, it may be an idea to tilt the pots on their side in the winter to prevent waterlog.
• When the Lily has finished flowering, cut any seed heads back and allow the foliage to die back naturally. Do not be tempted to cut the stem back until stems becomes hollow and brown.
• Lilies like a cold dormant phase throughout the winter so they don't need lifting. However, do ensure they have adequate drainage and do not get waterlogged as this will cause the bulbs to rot. 
• After a few years of flowering, you may find your Roselily produces less blooms, it may be time to lift your bulbs and divide them by breaking off the bulblets. All the bulbs will then need replanting.
• To prevent Lily Beetles from damaging your lilies, we recommend using the Lily Beetle Prevention Spray or you can make up your own with the Concentrate. This Spray (Grazers G4) will also stimulate growth of your lilies.
• You can feed your lilies with a Tomato Feed to stimulate and strengthen your lilies when you start to see signs of growth. Make up your tomato feed with half the recommended dilution (written on the instructions on the bottle) and feed once every 3 weeks.
