The Lilium Speciosum Rubrum Uchida has been well known among lovers of beautiful flowers for decades. The unmatched charm of its speckled, turban-shaped flowers brought this plant huge popularity. A tall stem that branches at the top to support an incredible cluster of flowers grows about 100 centimetres tall. The white-pink flowers, up to twenty on one stem, excrete a pleasant, subtle scent. The easy to grow and sturdy Rubrum lily delights with its oriental beauty. Its extremely attractive flowers covered with nodules can reach a diameter of 15 centimetres. The expected height of the flower stalk is about 100 centimetres.

Scaly lily bulbs should be planted end of September or the beginning of October and in spring, in April and May. We recommend putting them 12 to 15 centimetres deep into the soil and keep them 30 to 50 centimetres apart. Lilies require a sunny situation or a partially shady site. They prefer permeable, fertile, and moderately moist soils. A soil rich in nutrients suits them best. Lilies like to be fed with compost. You can mulch them with it every spring. You can achieve a long and abundant flowering by topping wilted flowers. It will allow plants to save energy for production of new buds instead of seed bags. The winter hardy bulbs can be grown on the same spot for several years.

A single package contains one bulb of the Rubrum Uchida lily, sized 14/16. Key plant facts and growing tips can be found in the product information on the package label.
