Dispatching lilies in Autumn

This question was asked by
K. Guthrie

Hello – We have a large, mountainous and damp Lake District garden which lilies love eventually (!) but if we plant in the conventional spring season slugs tend to annihilate the new shoots. I have found that if I can plant in late summer / early autumn the plants make a much better start but I struggle to find any supplier who will dispatch the plant at this time of year. Can you help?

Hi there,
Unfortunately, it’s too late for our Lilies to be planted this time of year. However, we will be sending Martagon Lilies out next month. Is this something you may be interested in? Alternatively, you could try ordering lilies from us in May and keep them in cold storage for a short while before planting.
