Oriental trumpet lily ‘Chiasso’ is a refined and eye-catching variety, producing large, trumpet-shaped blooms in soft yet rich shade of pink. Each flower is beautifully detailed with a fresh white centre and a subtle green throat, creating a striking contrast that adds depth and elegance to the overall appearance. The blooms open gracefully on tall, sturdy stems, giving the plant a strong, upright habit that brings height and structure to borders and containers. Beautifully fragrant, ‘Chiasso’ adds a gentle scent to the garden during mid to late summer, making it ideal for planting near patios or pathways. Its long-lasting flowers and strong stems also make it an excellent choice for cut flower arrangements, where its colour and form can be fully appreciated. Combining beauty, fragrance and reliable performance, this oriental trumpet lily is a standout addition to any garden or floral display.

How to plant Oriental Trumpet Lilies

• Arrange the Lilies in an odd-number grouping.
• Plant 5 bulbs in a 15 litre (15" in diameter) pot using good-quality, multi-purpose compost with added grit.
• Plant the bulbs with 10-15cm (4-6") of soil above them.
• Ensure the bulbs have plenty of drainage.

How to care for Oriental Trumpet Lilies

• Lilies 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 winter so they do not need lifting. Do ensure they have adequate drainage so they don't get waterlogged as this will cause the bulbs to rot. 
• After a few years of flowering, you may find your Oriental Trumpet Lily 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.
