Lily "Palena" is a variety that produces pink blooms with a lighter calyx base. These large flowers - reaching a diameter of 18 to 25 cm - are adorned with a subtle and irregularly placed freckles. This variety dazzles with the long flowering period and abundant blooming. The "Palena" lily develops strong, erect stems that reach 90 to 110 cm in height. They are covered with lanceolate leaves with clearly visible venation. Their magnificent, deep green colour and slightly shiny surface add a touch of noble elegance to the overall appearance of the plant. Flowers gather atop the stems in clusters of half a dozen. The upward facing, bowl-shaped calyxes consist of six broad petals. The long stamen that protrudes from the middle of the bloom and carries anthers, complements the flower, that usually opens 90 - 100 days after planting. Lilies of the variety presented here are ideally suited for planting at the elevated borders. They also look spectacular grown in smaller groupings that accentuate their colour even more. Do not hesitate and grow lilies in containers, too. Cut flowers will adorn interiors, adding a glamour note to them.

Plant lily bulbs in fertile, moderately moist soil with a light structure. A site where the bulb would remain in the shade and the overground part would be exposed to sunlight would be optimal. Should it not be the case, mulching will provide an acceptable solution. Fertilize the site a couple of times during the season for the best possible results.
