I am a cut flower florist and will be expanding my collection next year and would like to use your bulbs again after a trial this year. What species do you recommend please? I’d be looking for mostly single or triple headed stems
a nice scent and good length of stem.
All our lilies are fabulous as cut flower. The tree lilies (Oriental Trumpet lilies) can have a very thick stem and huge flower head so they may be rather heavy for a hand-tied bouquet. However, the Roselilies or Double Oriental Lilies always look lovely in a bouquet especially a bridal bouquet as they don’t have any pollen but still carry the gorgeous scent. If you are looking for a burst of colour, then any of the Asiatic lilies will do this. Most lilies will reach between 80cm to 100cm if not taller except the shorter Pot Lilies.
