Lilium (lily) Robert Swanson
5 bulbs for € 12.00
OT Hybrid lilies or tree lilies (80-130 cm)
The longer this lily stays in the garden, the larger and stronger it becomes. Produces many and especially very large flowers.
Robert Swanson has large, softly glossy flowers in bright butter yellow, bronze red in the center.
This interspecific hybrid between orientals and trumpet lilies is characterized by breathtakingly 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 at the right depth, at least 10 cm of soil above the bulb. For very thick lily bulbs, this can be 15 cm. Planting deep is important because the lily also develops stem roots.
In gardens, lilies are appreciated 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.
How can you enjoy your bouquet for as long as possible? Here are some tips:
- Fill a perfectly clean vase with tap water at room temperature and add 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.
Extra tip: Is there any pollen from your lilies? Don't wipe it away with your hand, but gently dab it with a dry sponge.
