Transform your garden into a show-stopping paradise with our Skyscraper Lily Collection. This premium selection includes five spectacular varieties of giant tree-lilies, each guaranteed to create an unforgettable display.
These towering beauties grow so tall they resemble trees, reaching an impressive height of up to 1.5m in their first year. Once fully established in subsequent years, they’ll soar even higher, providing an awe-inspiring vertical accent to your garden. These extraordinary lilies are the result of a unique hybridisation between Oriental and Trumpet lily strains, combining the best traits of both - breathtaking blooms and remarkable hardiness.
Each towering stem is crowned with over 20 exquisite flowers, each measuring more than 15cm across. Not only are they visually stunning, but they also fill the air with a rich, heady perfume, making them as delightful to smell as they are to see.
This collection comprises of 15 bulbs, size 16/18, including three of each variety:
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.
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 fertilizer 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.
