What can you recommend and when to plant?<br \/>\nWe bought Valverde and Nymph bulbs at Hampton Court Palace in July last year and were amazed how wonderful and beautiful the flowers were, planted that night when we returned home.<br \/>\nBest wishes Lorna. \ud83d\ude0a<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Dear Lorna,<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Thank you so much for your lovely message \u2014 and how wonderful that you\u2019ll be celebrating your 50th wedding anniversary in July 2026, many congratulations! Even more special that both my parents and my in-laws are also celebrating their 50ths in June and July this year, so it\u2019s a milestone very close to my heart too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">It\u2019s great to hear how much you enjoyed the Valverde and Nymph lilies you bought from us at Hampton Court \u2014 they really are stunning varieties. We\u2019re so pleased they gave you such a beautiful display.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">For a July-flowering display in pots, we would especially recommend:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>OT Hybrid Lilies<\/strong> \u00a0\u2014 excellent for pots, tall, elegant, and reliably flower in July <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/home.php?cat=261\">Oriental Trumpet Lilies<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Oriental Lilies<\/strong>, which are also perfect for containers and offer large, fragrant blooms during mid to late summer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/home.php?cat=257\">Oriental Lilies<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">These varieties are ideal for creating a truly special anniversary display and work beautifully planted in large pots with good drainage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">In terms of timing, bulbs are best planted in spring. We are starting to send our bulbs out in the next few weeks so I would advise ordering them ASAP to get them planted.\u00a0 Plant them straight into their final containers, keep them well watered, and place them in a sunny, sheltered position for the best results.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6739\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/Nymph.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6739\" class=\"wp-image-6739 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Nymph-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Oriental Trumpet Lily 'Nymph'\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Nymph-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Nymph-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Nymph-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Nymph-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Nymph-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6739\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oriental Trumpet Lily &#8216;Nymph&#8217;<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><em class=\"hubmaster_faq_editor\">The Hart Family<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Lorna,<br \/>\nThank you so much for your lovely message \u2014 and how wonderful that.. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/lillies-to-plant-for-july-display\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":13428,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[232],"class_list":["post-13414","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-faq","tag-faq"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Nymph-1.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13414","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13414"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13414\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13429,"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13414\/revisions\/13429"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13414"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13414"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13414"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
