Good evening,
I am in process of making our third garden. First was restoration of a Jekyll garden in Merton Park; then restoration of a typical Cornish garden planted up in the 19th century but overtaken by spotted laurel – originally planted as a windbreak. now i am making a new japanese garden following a visit to the Adachi Museum garden in Japan. Rocks, gravel “stream” path, acers and (hopefully) small areas of single species flowers at different seasons mingled with the rock work. What lilies would you recommend – not too tall for the most part (although I love Candidum). At the moment I am wondering about “Turks’ Head” type but would welcome your advice regarding a further 5 or 6 varieties.
Kind regards,
Chris

Hi Chris

Any lilies will fit well in your Japanese style garden including other flower varieties nicknamed the Pineapple Lily (Eucomis) and the Guernsey Lily (Nerines). Also, have you seen our Specie lily page? These are stunning varieties that would suit your garden theme.

Is it too late to plant oriental lilies in pots to flower this year I.e. in July or August?

No it isn’t too late at all – we will still be sending out until June and they will all flower this year. Usually, lilies will take 8-12 weeks from planting to flower if they have been kept in dormancy in cold store.

Is there any way I can get 50 of these bulbs now?

Thanks for your help.

Sorry it is the wrong time of the year for Madonna Lilies – these need planting in the Autumn.

Can I order 3 different varieties, 1 of each colour?

I bought 3 exquisite bulbs at Chelsea dome years ago. The were deep red and called Resolute. Do you stock them? Or know who does? I can’t locate them online….

Hi Di

Unfortunately, we haven’t got that Oriental trumpet lily available this year – we do have the following that are very similar:
Lily ‘Largo’ (SKU176841)

Lily ‘Carbonero’ (SKU17684)

Lily ‘Fujian’ (SKU17777)

All equally gorgeous in colour, height and scent.
