This question was asked by
Hi, I have received the above order following the order placed at Wisley flower show – Cali,Pontiac and Dalian.
However I don’t know what type of lily these are as only one appears on your website. We have alkaline soil and if they require ericaceous soil I need to know so I can grow them in pots.
Thanks

Good afternoon,
That’s a rather good question as 2 of these varieties were only available to purchase from us at the Show as we have a limited stock so they aren’t available online. All 3 varieties will require an ericaceous soil, we recommend mixing (50/50) a multipurpose compost with John Innes No.3 for best results. Just so you know, Lilium Cali is a Longiflorum Oriental Hybrid; Lilium Pontiac is an Oriential Trumpet and as you’ve probably seen on our website, Lilium Dalian is also an Oriental Trumpet Lily. The Oriental Trumpet Lilies are quite happy to be planted in either Alkaline or Acidic soils but we’d recommend the mix I’ve mentioned above for pots. Hope this helps!
