Lilium (lily) Friso
5 bulbs for € 12.00
OT Hybrid lilies or tree lilies (80-130 cm)
Also known as Silk Road. Friso is a large, sturdy lily with large dark red/white flowers.
This interspecific cross between orientals and trumpet lilies is characterized by breathtaking large flowers in many different colors. They are excellent for naturalizing and are suitable for permanent planting in public green spaces. They can reach a height of over 130 cm after a few years.
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 valued as attractive focal points in colorful flower beds, in combination with perennials, in rock gardens, and gardens with wild plants, or as potted plants.
The flowers are valuable 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 45-degree angle by 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 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 dry sponge.
