GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Majestic-Flowering Trumpet Lily “African Queen” Has Large, Drooping Bright Peach-Orange Flowers With Blushes Of Dark Red And Pale Yellow. This Heavy-Stemmed Hybrid Selection Produces Loose Clusters Of Trumpet-Like Blooms In Mid-Summer. It Was Created Through A Series Of Hybrid Crosses Of Many Eastern Asian Lily Species.

Trumpet Lilies Are Garden Favourites, Admired For Their Size And Floral Fragrance, Especially In The Evenings. They Typically Bear Clusters Of Wide-Flaring And Down-Facing Flowers Atop Very Tall Stems That Often Need Support From Other Plants Or Stakes. Stems Are Lined With Glossy Green Narro Lance-Shaped Leaves.

“African Queen” Has Received The Royal Horticultural Society’s Award Of Garden Merit (Agm) Which Is For Plants Of Outstanding Excellence.

Cultivated For Over 5 Thousand Years Lillies Are Undoubtedly One Of The Most Beloved And Treasured Of All Perennial Garden Flowers. They Are Undeniably Beautiful. From When They First Break The Topsoil Lilies Command Attention, The Stems With Their Spirals Of Fresh Clean-Cut Narrow Leaves, Lengthen At An Almost Visible Rate And Are Soon Topped By Prolific Buds That Hint Of The Exotic Blooms To Come.

Lily Bulbs Should Be Planted In Holes Such That The Tops Of The Bulbs Are About 12 Cm Underground. Sprinkle A Small Amount Of Fertilizer Into The Hole Before Placing The Bulbs. Lilies Prefer Full To Partial Sun And Neutral, Well-Drained Humus-Rich Soil. They Are Perfect For Cutting Gardens, Summer Containers And Mixed Borders. If The Lilies Grow More Than 90 Cms, They May Require Staking Although You Will Likely Find The Stems Are Incredibly Strong. As Soon As Buds Form Is The Time To Begin Staking The Plants. Lilies Are Long Lasting In The Garden And In Bouquets.

They Will Multiply Each Year And Every Few Years Will Require Thinning, So That They Don’t Become Too Crowded. Allow The Plants To Die Off Naturally Rather Than Cutting Them Down After Blooming. This Will Ensure The Bulbs Have Seen A Full Return Of Nutients From The Plant Before Winter.
