HI there,
Unfortunately Roselily Julia will not be back in stock I am afraid. We have many other Roselilies that are just as gorgeous. I do hope you find an alternative.
Best wishes

Lily bulbs bought from you at Chelsea 2018

This question was asked by
S. Ullswater

Dear Harts, I bought several bulbs from you last year at Chelsea on the Thursday. 3 of the bulbs were huge and I think you said new that year. soft creamy yellow with stunning blooms and scented. They are still in leaf in pots outside which is a surprise to me? I would like to buy some more but have lost the name label. They were all wonderful. Yours Susie

Hello there,
Thank you for your email. How unusual that they are still in leaf, it must be all this bizarre weather we have been experiencing. I would advise cutting them down now and leaving 10″ of stem showing. They will still flower again this year. I believe the variety you bought were the huge Manissa bulbs we had on offer last year. We have a similar offer on at the moment on huge Conca D’or lilies – see below.

Elodie bulbs

This question was asked by
Y. Passmore

Can you grow these in a pot? If so what compost etc and when.
Thanks

Yes Elodie Lilies can be grown in pots, or in the garden. As Lilium Elodie is a double Asiatic Lily, they prefer an Alkaline soil. If you’re planting in pots then we would suggest a good quality multi-purpose compost with good drainage in the pots.

Planting Flame lilies

This question was asked by
L. Barrowman

I have purchased 2 x 3 flame lilies from your website. Do I plant all three in one pot or one per pot? How deep should I plant the tubular?
Thank you

We advise planting the Rhizomes 3-4″ deep and 6-8″ apart. So it will depend on the size of your pot. If you wish to plant all 3 bulbs in one pot, I would suggest using an 18″ pot. If you look on our website, we advise planting the rhizomes on a 45 degree angle. A diagram can be found to show which way up to plant on the angle. I do hope that helps.
Kind regards

cutting lily stems for the house.

Hi,
I have planted your bulbs in pots after cutting the stems in the summer for the house, will they flower again next year and do you need to clean the bulbs and re-pot them?
Regards,
Alan Cook,

You don’t need to repot or clean your lily bulbs, infact they are quite happy to stay where there are for a few years before you need to divide them and replant. Your lilies will flower again this year but they may not be as strong as previous years due to being cut.

Is Roselily Belonica likely to come back into stock this year?

Unfortunately Roselily Belonica will not be back in stock for the foreseeable future. We have lots of other lovely Roselilies available though.
