Amazing calla corms

Posted on by

This question was asked by
– Mark R

Hi,

This year I have purchased 133 different calla lily cultivars from lots of different online suppliers including some from you and I have to report the corms you supplied have been the best corms by far to the point that I had to contact you to let you know. Your corms are at least twice the size of anyone else and they are of about the same price or cheaper in some cases. Of course I cannot comment on flower colour quality because they are not growing yet so I hope the quality continues.

Kind regards

Mark

Compost query

– S. Taylor

Hi, I have received the bulbs I ordered at malvern autumn show, thankyou. I have lily master and energetic, which I can’t see on your website. Just wondering whether they need normal or acidic compost? I also have Isabella and manifesto and I think they need ericaceous compost. Could you please advise . Thanks Sue Taylor.

Hello there,
Lilium Master is an Oriental Trumpet Lily that is happy in any soil type and the other 3 lilies; Lilium Energetic, Manifesto and Isabella all require Ericaceous soil.

Hope this helps.

Hello The Hart Family
I would like to be able to buy three Madonna Lily’s if it is possible, I have been told it is the wrong season to buy at the moment.
I would be very grateful for your advice.
Kind regards
Stuart

Good afternoon,

Yes you are correct, it is the wrong season. Lilium Candidum (also known as The Madonna lily) needs to be planted in the Autumn. We will have these available to purchase online from June onwards for Autumn dispatch.

Moving house and lifting lilies

Posted on by

This question was asked by
– Sally Cemm-Evans

I have a number of lilies bought from you which I grow in pots. I am moving house and the removers have restricted me to only three plants in pots. Some of the martagons are still flowering and the orientals still have foliage. Should I remove the bulbs from the pots and dry them off or would it be better to leave some compost around the roots and keep them damp in plastic bags?

Hi there,
Due to your restrictions, I would do the latter. Lift your lilies with the soil in bags. The lilies need the stem to die back to feed the bulb. Replant them as soon as you get to your new house.
Good luck with the move!
Many thanks
