The Asiatic Lily 'Red Highland' stands out for its rich, saturated red flowers, a shade seldom found among lilies. This variety is particularly valued by both traditional gardeners and those seeking distinctive colour accents. With sturdy, upright stems reaching 70-90 cm, each plant produces an abundance of blooms that remain fresh for an extended period. The striking contrast between the vivid red petals and lush green foliage brings a refined, bold presence to borders and mixed plantings, making these perennial bulbs a reliable choice for lasting visual impact with minimal maintenance.
Plant Red Highland lily bulbs in early autumn, ideally from September to October. This timing allows the bulbs to establish roots before winter arrives, supporting healthy growth in the following season.
Set the bulbs at a depth of 12-15 cm. Proper coverage is essential, as it helps protect the bulbs from frost and ensures robust development.
Allow 20-25 cm between each bulb. This spacing gives the plants ample room to grow and develop a strong root system, contributing to vigorous flowering.
Red Highland lilies reach a mature height of 70-90 cm. Their firm, resilient stems withstand adverse weather, making them suitable for a variety of planting schemes, including exposed locations.
This variety blooms from June to July, depending on local conditions. During this period, the plants are covered in large, deep red flowers that hold their colour and freshness for several weeks.
Asiatic lilies are fully frost hardy and do not require lifting for winter. When planted in well-drained, moderately moist soil, the bulbs remain healthy throughout the colder months, ensuring reliable performance year after year.
Red Highland is well suited to beds, borders, containers and patio planters. Its vivid flowers combine easily with other perennials and annuals, while the long-lasting blooms are also excellent for cutting.
