Planting Time

Plant the Nightrider trumpet lily bulbs in autumn, ideally from September to October. This timing allows the bulbs to establish strong roots before winter sets in, supporting healthy growth the following season.

Planting Depth

Set the bulbs at a depth of 12-15 cm in well-drained soil. Planting at this depth provides stability for the tall stems and protects the bulbs from frost damage during colder months.

Spacing

Allow 20-30 cm between each bulb. This spacing ensures that plants have adequate room for root development and reduces competition for nutrients, supporting vigorous growth and healthy blooms.

Height

Lilium ‘Nightrider’ reaches a mature height of 100-120 cm. The tall, slender stems are topped with large, claret flowers, making this variety suitable for the back of borders or as an elegant standalone feature.

Flowering Time

This trumpet lily blooms in July and August. The rich, burgundy flowers add depth and interest to summer displays, making them ideal for enhancing seasonal arrangements.

Hardiness & Overwintering

The Nightrider bulb is fully hardy and does not require lifting for winter. It withstands harsh weather, remaining dormant in the soil and returning reliably each year.

Uses

Lilium ‘Nightrider’ is versatile - suitable for mixed borders, large containers, or as a striking focal point in the garden. Its deep colour pairs well with lighter perennials and ornamental grasses.
