Lilies are not just beautiful cut flowers. In perennial beds same as carefully planted among shrubs or trees they will dazzle with bright colours, shapes, and sizes of their blooms. And be sure we select the grandest of the great ones only!
Description of the plant:
Recent hybridizing of some lilies from Latvia resulted in very attractive Asian-type lilies called Tango lilies. Their speckles and dots that are usually present in the middle third of the flower petals are merged into a nearly solid bend around the flower centre. Strawberries And Cream is a variety with red centre and creamy-white tips. The flower looks so delicious it makes you want to taste it.Lilies are easy, maintenance-free tuberous perennials that do best when left grown without taking out. They need fertile, slightly acidic soil, always moist, even in winter. Plant the bulbs at a depth of 2-3 times their height. Check for pests after the leaves have emerged. Fully hardy.
