Among perennial bulbs, Lilium ‘Empoli’ stands out for its striking blend of pink and yellow, with petals that shift gently from soft rose to a fresh green-yellow centre. This variety adds a distinctive visual accent to borders, combining subtlety with vibrancy. Its tall, slender stems - reaching 120 to 150 cm - make it an impressive focal point, particularly when the blooms are at their most intense in mid to late summer. The unique colour combination and upright habit bring a refined touch to any garden setting.
For healthy growth, plant Empoli lily bulbs in early autumn - September to October is ideal. This timing allows the bulbs to establish roots before winter, supporting strong development and flowering the following season.
Place the bulbs 10-15 cm deep in well-drained soil. This depth helps protect against frost and supports reliable emergence and flowering.
Allow approximately 20 cm between each bulb. This spacing encourages robust growth while creating an attractive, cohesive display of blooms.
Lilium ‘Empoli’ typically grows to 120-150 cm. Its elegant, upright form makes it well suited as a backdrop in mixed borders or as a standout feature in the garden.
Flowers appear from July to August. The large, scented blooms attract butterflies and pollinators, contributing to a lively summer atmosphere and supporting garden biodiversity.
This variety is hardy and can remain in the ground through winter. Extra protection is only recommended in exposed spots or during periods of severe frost.
The unusual colour and impressive height make Empoli lilies ideal for planting as single specimens or in groups within perennial borders. The blooms are also popular for cut flower arrangements and bring a decorative touch to patios and balconies. Their presence is valued in floral displays for special occasions.
