6 bulbs for € 12.00
(Asiatic)
A beautiful tiger lily with black-red flowers and dark spots. Looks great with the green leaves.
Asiatic lilies are sturdy lilies that grow easily, suitable for perennial planting in public green spaces. They are characterized by a very wide color spectrum with many bold, bright colors. They generally produce a large number of flowers. This type of lily is not fragrant.
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 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 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 hopes 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 symbol 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 perfectly clean vase with tap water at room temperature and add 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 a heater, or next to a fruit bowl.
