Soil Type for Lilies

This question was asked by

I bought 6 lily bulbs for £10 at the Chelsea flower show. I chose them from lilies on your display. They were very deep purple with yellow.
I cannot remember their name.
They are flourishing well but I need to top up the compost and don’t know if they need eracacous
Or normal compost.
Your advice would be appreciated.

I believe these to be Lion Heart which is an Asiatic Lily. A stunningly vibrant variety of lily. As these are Asiatic lilies, they will require an Alkaline, well-drained soil.

Lion Heart (SKU17655)
