Lilium (lily) Scheherazade
6 bulbs for € 12.00
OT Hybrid lilies or tree lilies (80-130 cm)
Produces many and especially very large flowers. A large, strong lily with big pink/red flowers with cream/yellow along the edges.
Long-lasting bloom and fragrant. Scheherazade was the Persian storyteller of the tales from One Thousand and One Nights. And since this rather exclusive beauty looks like a fairy tale, the name fits perfectly!

This interspecific cross between orientals and trumpet lilies is characterized by breathtaking large flowers in many different colors. They are excellent for naturalizing.
Dazzling lilies bring a color spectacle to the garden. Exactly, in the garden! Many people know the lily as a cut flower and do not realize that they can also shine in the garden.
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 deep is important because the lily also forms stem roots.
In gardens, lilies are valued as attractive eye-catchers in colorful flower beds, in combination with perennials, in rock gardens and wildflower gardens, or as potted plants.
The flowers are valuable cut flowers.
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 3 to 5 cm angle 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 a heater, or next to a fruit bowl.
