Hi
I’m a little confused about which compost to use for planting my casa blanca bulbs in tubs which which I received from you. Is all ericaceous soil OK or normal compost or mix of both.
Thanks

Hi Mary

You can mix your ericaceous compost with a good-quality multipurpose compost (50:50) for the ideal combination. However, using an all ericaceous compost will also be fine for your oriental lilies. Just ensure there is plenty of drainage.Casa Blanca

Is it safe to assume that all your oriental lilies smell wonderful? Sorry if that sounds a weird question but for me fragrance is the most important part of a lily!
Thanks

Hi there,
Yes all Oriental varieties are highly scented, the whiter they are, the stronger the perfume as they attract the wildlife by their scent more than their colour. Our Roselilies are highly scented too even though they don’t produce the stamen.

I am new to growing lilies and would like especially fragrant ones, for planters on my patio. Also – preferably not too tall although that is not too important – the scent is. I have in mind regale, sorbonne, casablanca, that sort of thing. I could do with some advice.
many thanks

Hi Robert

As a general rule of thumb, the whiter the lily the more fragrant is it. This is because it attracts wildlife by its scent as opposed to its colour. Those varieties you mention are lovely, however Regale will get a bit taller over time. I would advise looking at the Oriental Lilies and Roselilies for scent and for lilies that are not too tall.

Hi Philip

It looks like you order Casa Blanca from us. A stunning white oriental lily.
