Compost query

This question was asked by
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.

Wow what a year!

Happy New Year everyone!
We are hoping this year will be as exceptional as 2019 was for us. We received Gold Medals at every show in the floral marquee… that’s a total of 10 shiny Gold Medalsfor 2019! We also achieved 5 Star awards for all of our 8 Plant Village Exhibits including the Best Exhibit at the RHS Cardiff Flower Show.  At the beginning of 2019, we were awarded the ‘Lawrence Trophy’ and the ‘Mrs. T E Rivis Prize’ for our cut flower display at the RHS Chatsworth Flower Show 2018. And to add the icing on the cake, the most prestigious award for us was the coveted ‘Presidents Award’ at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2019, which was so overwhelming and unexpected! The year finished with a feature on the BBC’s Gardeners World about our nursery and exhibit at the RHS Tatton Park Flower Show. Here’s hoping that 2020 will be as successful as last year! Judging by the amazing new varieties we have for this year, it could well be!
So it’s the start of a new gardening year and it’s now time to start thinking about planting summer flowering bulbs, especially our highly-awarded ‘Lilies‘. Our new lilies will be added to our website soon so please check back …
