Bicoloured Asiatic lily with salmon-dusky pink, creamy troat and chocolate freckles in middle flowers. Height: 90-100 cm

Asiatic lilies are available in a vast array of colours and this one is no exception. The flowers are a bi-colour of strawberry pink with a creamy yellow centre and will look stunning in any setting. Asiatic lilies are easy to grow and will naturalise well in all garden conditions as long as they do not become waterlogged. In wetter soils add a handful of grit to the hole before planting the bulb to provide that extra drainage. Remember to protect the young shoots from slug and pest damage. Like all bulbs they will need to be fed with a high phosphate and potash feed during the flower and leaf stage to ensure they flower in the following years.
