Lilium (lily) Lady Alice
5 bulbs for € 12.00
Relative of the well-known lilium Henryi
Despite their height (120cm), they are extremely suitable for planting in the garden as they generally stand upright very well. White with a large orange speckled heart.
Plant immediately upon receipt to prevent the bulbs from drying out.
Plant your lily bulbs well at a depth of at least 10 cm of soil above the bulb. For very thick lily bulbs, this can also be 15 cm. Planting deeply is important because the lily also develops stem roots.
In gardens, lilies are appreciated as attractive eye-catchers in colorful flower beds, in combination with perennials, in rock gardens, and gardens with wild plants, or as potted plants.
The flowers are also super beautiful as cut flowers.
The lily is truly full of symbolism. The main symbolic meanings are:
- Femininity. In the time of the Greeks and Romans, brides were given a crown of lilies in the hope of a pure and fruitful life.
- Love. In Victorian times, receiving a sweet-scented lily meant: ‘This is my lover’
- Purity. White lilies are often used at weddings as a sign of virginity and purity.
- Transience. The serene and pure appearance of the lily expresses emotions in times of loss and mourning.
How can you enjoy your bouquet for as long as possible? Here are some tips:
- Fill a clean vase with tap water at room temperature and add cut flower food.
- Cut the flower stems at a diagonal angle 3 to 5 cm with a sharp and clean knife.
- Make sure no leaves are hanging in the water and regularly top up the water.
- Do not place your bouquet in a draft, in direct sunlight, near the heating, or next to a fruit bowl.
Extra tip: Is there any pollen from your lilies? Do not wipe it away with your hand, but gently dab it with a completely dry sponge.
