Skyscraper Lily 'Belladonna' (yellow) - pack of 5 bulbs size

Skyscraper Lily ‘Belladonna’ (yellow) – pack of 5 bulbs size was £7.99 now £3.99
This collection comprises of 5 top sized bulbs, the same as used by commercial flower growers in Holland, of the variety Belladonna – gorgeous soft lemon yellow. These incredible Skyscraper Lilies grow so tall they look like trees! In their first year they will reach up to 1.5m (5ft) tall, but in future years, once they are fully established, they will get even taller up to 6 or even 7 foot tall eventually! These large flowered beauties arise as a consequence hybridisation between Oriental and Trumpet strains of lily hence the marriage of both species characteristics. Every flower delivers a wonderful heady perfume and each individual stem can carry well over 20 blooms, which can measure well over 15cm (6in) across. Grow all 5 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.

Lily Landini black flowered size 14/16 - pack x 5

Lily Landini black flowered size 14/16 – pack x 5 was £7.99 now £3.99
There is a certain fascination with so-called black flowers, although in nature, almost all are the deepest of velvet purples!!!

They provide the perfect backdrop for neon bright flowers, their dark contrast setting the, off perfectly. Their upright stems will reach 1m (3ft) tall, and each stem, will have 5 or more flowers on. They make interesting cut flowers, or leave in the garden. Try all 5 planted in a large pot too! They are very hardy over-Winter, so leave them to die back naturally as Autumn progresses, to feed up the bulbs as they retreat underground. This gives bigger and better displays for years to come.

Grow singly in pots about 10-15cm diameter, or all 3 in a 20cm diameter pot. For best results, they should be kept very warm and well watered once planted for 2 weeks to kick-start their dormancy – on a heater or an airing cupboard is fine, then once the green shoots appear, they can be placed outside. The corms are shallow, and need to be planted saucer shape up, just with a shallow 1-2cm covering of compost only. You will be rewarded with tremendous displays of sumptuous calla flowers that last for 5-6 weeks, and appear again year after year.
