As I am getting a lot of customers asking questions for tips and advice on many lily queries, I have decided to have an evening of questions and answers on our blog page. This will take place every wednesday from 7pm until my fingers run out of steam. Please feel free to email me any questions regarding lilies at enquiries@hartsnursey.co.uk and your answers will be posted on our blog every wednesday. No question is too silly.

Today I received this question:
Q: Can I grow lilies in the shade as I have an area in my garden covered by a large tree?
A: I would recommend growing martagon lilies in shade as these thrive on growing in woodland type gardens. These special varieties of Lilies grow especially well in dappled shade in Humus-rich, Alkaline soil. They naturalize really well and are long lived and hardy.
