Delicate yellow petals with a silky texture gradually transition to soft creamy white edges, creating these wonderfully fragrant flowers. Tree Lilies® are the stunning outcome of years of dedicated breeding. These extraordinary oriental lily varieties can reach impressive heights of up to 2.5 meters (8 feet) in just two years. A single bulb of Tree Lily ‘Yellow Rocket’ can produce as many as thirty large, 20 cm (8″) trumpet-shaped blooms and, over time, will develop a bushy, shrub-like form. Oriental lilies prefer a moist, free draining, neutral to acid soil that is rich in organic matter. Prior to planting, add plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost to the soil to give your tree lilies the best start. When growing lilies in containers, use a loam based compost such as John Innes No.2. Lily bulbs should be planted at a depth of approximately 3 times their own height and 15cm (6″) apart. Planting deeply helps to protect the bulb during particularly hot periods. Choose a sheltered, sunny position where lilies will grow with their heads in the sun and their roots in the shade.
