Feb/March time you sent me Rose lily bulbs. Just to let you know that they are all magnificent, full bloom, smell amazing and each stalk has at least 7 buds. Thank you for selling these to me. X

Hi LilyAnne

Thank you so much for your lovely comments. We are delighted to hear how happy you are with your roselilies.

Hi

We purchased 2 lots of 3 rhizomes from you at Hampton Court Flower Show in early July with the intention of planting them in pots on our sunny patio. However, when I looked up when they should be planted, it clearly states they should be planted in the Spring, which has obviously long gone.

Please can you tell me whether I should go ahead and plant them now, or should I store them in a cool, dark place and plant them next Spring?

I intend to use John Innes No. 3 but should I mix this with something else?

I look forward to hearing.

Yes plant them now and they will flower this year still – just a little a later as they’ve been held back in a Coldstore.

They will then revert back to their usual flowering cycle next year.

Plant in a loam-based compost such as John Innes No. 2 or you can mix it with a good-quality multi-purpose compost if you would like. Either is fine. Ensure they have adequate drainage and placed in a very warm position to get them activated.

Hi,

We bought some Lilies from you last spring and were delighted with them when they flowered later in the year. This year however the Calla lilies have all produced leaves but of all the bulbs in three different pots we only managed two single flowers ! We lifted the bulbs last winter and replanted them in John Innes No 2, they have been in leaf now for approx two months is there anything we can do to encourage them to flower this year ?

Thank you

Hi Peter

Did you cut the flowers back last year? If it doesn’t have enough stem and foliage to die back and feed the bulbs, then they may not flower as well the following year. I would give them a feed next year as you start to see signs of growth. Try using a high potash fertiliser like a liquid tomato feed.

I see many of your collections of lily bulbs are out of stock. Do you expect to have fresh supplies this autumn?

Hi Graham

Yes – we are constantly updating the website when we know which crops will be available for next year. If you click on the links on each product page that say ‘tell me when back in stock’ then you will be sent an email to notify you.
