I purchased 3 bulbs from RHS Chelsea and I would like to know if I can plant them in a patio pot\/ container of what size and how tall will they grow?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hello there,
\nHere are some guides for your Gloriosa Rhhizomes which can reach upto 3metres in height. <\/p>\n

Gloriosa Lilies like a well-drained soil.
\nWe advise starting off your gloriosa rhizomes in a pot indoors before transferring them outside during the summer months.
\nHowever, you can find a suitable location in your garden or, preferably, plant in pots with suitable drainage holes to prevent waterlog.
\nWhile gloriosa lilies will grow well in most moderately fertile soil, they will not survive in soggy soil or standing water.
\nWhen planting in pots, plant 3 Rhizomes to a 14-16 inch pot.
\nUse a multi-purpose compost or John Innes No. 3 for your Gloriosa.
\nSite your Gloriosa Lilies where they will receive full sun to light shade.
\nPlant the Rhizome 3-4″ deep and 6-8″ apart. The tip of the Rhizome can point out the top of the soil by an inch.
\nTake care NOT to touch the growing points on the bulbs; bumping and abraiding this area tends to reduce sprouting.
\nThe root and shoot come from the same end and need to be planted downwards on a 45 degree angle in a triangle formation. They’ll figure out which way is up.
\nIt’s often helpful to add a support for the vines to clamber up. Preferably a one stake per bulb.
\nAfter planting, water your Gloriosa lilies generously, soaking the soil to settle it around the bulbs.
\nRoots and sprouts will form in a few weeks and these plants flower at a young age. (If the soil in your area is still quite cool wait until it warms before planting.)<\/p>\n
