Lotus Elegance Oriental Lily - 2 Bulbs 16/18cm - Ruffled Pink Blooms - NEW

Layers of ruffled pink petals with a white throat freckled with pink are outlined in creamy white. Large 6” flowers of Lily Lotus Elegance are outward facing on strong stems and sumptuously gorgeous. The heady fragrance of Oriental Lilies will float on a summer breeze. Double Oriental Lilies don’t develop pollen and bloom slightly later and longer than single flowering varieties. A bonus for mess-free long-lasting arrangements. The regal splendor of Oriental lilies gives the crowning touch to your summer garden. They carry your garden through the hot summer into balmy autumn with their magnificent blooms, which are at least 6" across. The tall varieties lend an airy elegance when spotted through the back of the border. All are unsurpassed for cutting, having a very long vase life. The flamboyant flowers, with their gracefully recurved petals, are delightfully fragrant during the day, but their perfume is positively heady at night. They are very long lived in the garden and will multiply over the years. Taller varieties need staking. They prefer lots of sun on their tops and some shade at their feet, a problem easily solved by planting them among shorter perennials.
