Oriental lily collection
lily collection
Originating from temperate regions throughout the Northern Hemisphere where they are found growing in woodland, scrub and open meadows, lilies thrive in moist, preferably neutral to acidic soils that are rich in organic matter.
How to care for Oriental lily collection:
Lilies can be planted at any time from early autumn to mid-spring. Planting in autumn often helps them settle in and become better established before they start to put on their new spring growth, but spring planting is a better option if your soil is heavy and wet during winter.
Choose a sunny spot, preferably where the plant receives a little light shade at its base, and plant each bulb 15-20cm deep in a well-drained soil, enriched with well-rotted organic matter or leaf mould. Space them at 15-30cm intervals and provide support before the flowers appear.
Deadhead the faded blooms promptly and cut the dead stems back to ground level at the end of autumn.
