Description

Our Skyscraper Lily Collection just got even better! Enjoy the same incredible giant tree lilies, now with two extra colours. This Premium Collection brings together five spectacular varieties that are certain to make a real statement in the garden.

Growing so tall they resemble small trees, these impressive lilies can reach up to 1.5m in their first year and may grow even taller once fully established in seasons to come. Their remarkable size comes from hybridisation between Oriental and Trumpet lilies, combining some of the best characteristics of both.

Each flower carries a wonderfully rich fragrance, while individual stems can produce well over 20 blooms, with flowers measuring more than 15cm across.

This collection includes 15 bulbs, size 16/18, with three bulbs of each of the five varieties pictured.

'Shine On' � Gold to orange flowers with dark orange anthers
'Moonlight' � Buttercup yellow blooms
'Candy Club' � Creamy white and candy pink
'Palazzo' � Vivid red-pink and a powerful summer scent
'Robina' � Mid-pink with magenta tones

Grow all five in large pots about 15cm apart, or in groups in garden borders. They have very strong stems, so should not need support. Cut them for the long-lasting displays in the vase, or leave them to marvel at in your garden. Allow them to die down naturally after flowering, and they will build up reserves for even bigger and better displays the following year. Fully winter hardy, they will last for many years.

Top Tips

Once they have flowered your lilies will not bloom again until the following year, so be sure to plant them with other plants that look great later in the season.
Remove the faded flowers so that the plants don�t waste energy making seeds.

Care Information

As these lilies can grow so tall, staking them against the wind - stout bamboo canes are ideal as they blend in with the stems.
Keep an eye out for lily beetles which can quickly defoliate your plants.
Plant in fertile, moist and well-drained soil - a layer of horticultural grit in the planting hole will help drainage. Plant bulbs where the plants will benefit from light afternoon shade.
Mulch over winter to protect the bulbs from extreme cold , or if your ground lays wet, you may want to consider lifting and storing the bulbs.
Keep well-watered when in growth and give a high-potassium liquid fertiliser every 2 weeks from early spring until 6 weeks after flowering.
Leave the foliage until it turns brown in autumn.
Divide plants every 3 to 4 years as new growth begins in the spring.
