GENERAL DESCRIPTION

These Bulbs Are Large For Candidums To Ensure They Will Flower. Smaller Bulbs May Take 2-3 Seasons To Establish & Flower

“Lilium Candidum” Is Known To Have Been Grown Since The Days Of Ancient Crete, And Yet It Is Rarely Found In The Wild. It Was The Traditional Lily Of Cottage Gardens, Where It Flourished.

The Trumpet-Shaped Blooms Are Borne In Clusters Of 5-20 On Tall Stems And Have Glistening White Flowers Which Almost Seem To Glow And Have A Very Fragrant Seductive Perfume. This Shallow-Growing Bulb Develops Rosette Foliage During Winter, Which Dies Away After Flowering And Becomes Dormant Untill The Autumn.

“Lilium Candidum” 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. The Splendour Of The Species Is Lush And Prolific. The Flowers Opening Into Wide, Waxen-Petalled Stars, Several Crowning Each Slender Fine-Leaved Stem.

“Lilium Candidum” Should Be Planted Very Shallowly And Often Work Themselves Almost To The Surface Without Coming To Any Harm. 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.

They Will Multiply Each Year And Every Few Years Will Require Thinning, So That They Don’t Become Too Crowded. Late Summer Or Early Autumn Is The Best Time To Do This. 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.
