Olympic Torch lily

This question was asked by
Mrs jennifer B

We bought a Lily called Torch with three other lilies in 2015, Is Olympic Torch the same. We nearly lost our original Torch, and have two surviving ones. Is it best to keep them on their own?

Hi Jennifer

Yes Olympic Torch is the same as The Torch.

You can mix your lilies – that’s no problem at all. If you are planting them in the garden, just double check your soil and the lily variety as some prefer acid and some prefer alkaline. Olympic Torch is an OT lily and is happy in either.

i have just seen a lily that i really like on your newsletter olympic torch if i ordered some from you now and planted tem would they flower this year or would i be better to wait for your february despatch and plant them then many thanks for your time denise

Hi Denise
We are still sending our lily bulbs out and now is absolutely fine to still plant them for flowering this year.

Plant your lily bulbs as soon as you receive them and you will notice they will start to shoot immediately.
