Description:
The orange flowered Queen of Africa is a beautiful garden and cut flower. It has a height of 100 cm. After flowering, they can remain in the ground and bloom again year after year. The lilies also make excellent flower pots or planters.
Planting:
The planting depth for lilies is 10-15 cm. Before planting the bulbs, make sure the soil is aerated and permeable to moisture. Plant the lilies next to a fence or between other plants, shrubs and trees in a sheltered place. Lily bulbs can be planted in spring, around April-May, and in autumn, around October-November.
Care:
The flowers like to be in the sun. In frosty weather, it is best to protect bulbs and already hatched shoots with leaves or branches. It is recommended to replant lilies every 3-4 years. They will then get new energy from the new soil and the lilies will bloom beautifully and colourfully for years to come. Watch out for the orange lily beetle: it is the lily's worst enemy! Removing them by hand is easiest. There are many pesticides, but lily beetles quickly become immune to them.
