Lily bulbs
This question was asked by
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)
All equally gorgeous in colour, height and scent.

Oriental lilies
This question was asked by
Having seen empress oriental lilies planted on ‘Love Your Garden’ I googled the lily and decided to order from Harts Nursery. I spoke to an extremely pleasant young man who helped me with my order and he informed me it was your bulbs which featured – so very happy. I naturally ordered more than I intended !!! and have received the excellent looking bulbs Can I use ericaceous compost in pots rather than John Innes No 3 as I have quite a large quantity already. Thx
Aww I’m so pleased to hear how happy you are! Yes an ericaceous compost is absolutely perfect for Empress.
Hope they bring you lots of joy in the summer.
Take care

Just to say my mums received her Mother’s Day collection today and is absolutely delighted. She says they are the best bulbs she have ever seen. She has been shielding for a year and it’s been very difficult for her. Especially as I live in Cornwall and she is in Somerset thank you for brightening her day and for your excellent service.

Best variety for scent
This question was asked by
Hi Harts
looking for best lily for scent to be grown in a lily pot on a patio. The pot is approx 50cm high and 40cm diameter – how many bulbs would you advise ?
Thanks
Ray
I would advise planting 3 bulbs to this size pot. If you are looking for highly perfumed lilies, then any of the orientals are perfumed. The whiter the lily the stronger the scent.
Have you seen Nymph? This is a popular variety due to it’s unique cinnamon-like perfume. Lily ‘Nymph’ (harts1027)
Here you will find links to the perfumed lilies:

Help with deciding on scented lilies
This question was asked by
Hello i would like to order about four varieties of lilies but would like some suggestions on the most beautifully scented ones with very large flowers.
Thanks,
Henrietta
Hi Henriette
We have lots of varieties to choose from. The most scented lilies are the white oriental lilies.
Oriental Lilies
The whiter the flower the more fragrant it is as they attract the wildlife by their scent rather than colour.
Have you seen the roselilies? These are beautiful double-headed flowers and are highly scented also.

However, if you are after larger flower blooms, then the oriental trumpet lilies are the largest in size and height. These are called tree lilies due to their height. Nymph is a gorgeously scented lily:

Lilies in a conservatory
This question was asked by
Please could you tell me if I can grow lilies in an indoor, unheated north facing conservatory?
I’d be most grateful to hear from you.
We grow our lilies in a glass house so they will be absolutely fine. Just ensure the containers they are in have plenty of drainage.

Tall Lilies
This question was asked by
Do you sell a tall upright white lily we only know it’s name as Ice Breaker. I am waiting to put a order in but that is one my friend wants as well as another one so I want to get the order in one go. Thank you speak to you soon to order.
HI Carolyn
That isn’t a lily we have but we have plenty of tall lilies under the section Tree-like Lilies. These can reach a staggering height of 7ft! If you would like a particular colour, you can use our search filter at the top of each category page to help you narrow your choice down.

Replanting lilies
This question was asked by
Hi
I have ordered from you before..your lilies are wonderful. I have some varieties in the garden that I’d like to move them…is now a good time to lift them…is it even advisable?
Many thanks
Judy
Hi Judy
Yes, once your lilies have completely died back, you can remove the stems and them lift and replant them.
