Lilium, Tiger lily - Red Velvet - Striking Burgundy Garden Accent - Bulb - 1 pc

Lilium ‘Red Velvet’ stands out for its deep claret flowers, delivering a bold visual statement wherever it is planted. The rich colour and upright form make this tiger lily a striking focal point in any planting scheme. Its tall, slender stems - reaching up to 130 cm - complement both classic and modern garden designs, adding depth and structure. This variety is valued not only for its impressive appearance but also for its reliable performance and lasting presence among perennial bulbs.

Planting Time

For best results, plant the Red Velvet bulb in autumn, from September to October. Early planting allows strong root development before winter sets in, supporting healthy growth in the next season.

Planting Depth

Place the bulb 12-15 cm below the soil surface. This depth offers stability and protects the bulb during colder months.

Spacing

Maintain 15-20 cm between bulbs. Proper spacing ensures each plant has enough room to develop fully, without competing for nutrients or light.

Height

Lilium ‘Red Velvet’ grows to an impressive height of 80-130 cm. Its vertical stems make it ideal for creating dramatic backdrops or adding height to mixed borders.

Flowering Time

The large, claret blooms appear from July to August. Flowers remain vibrant on the stem for several weeks, enhancing the garden with strong colour and form throughout mid to late summer.

Hardiness & Overwintering

This tiger lily is fully hardy and can be left in the ground over winter. There is no need to lift the bulbs, making it a practical choice for low-maintenance garden designs.

Uses

The Red Velvet variety is especially effective at the back of borders, where its height and rich colour provide a striking background for lower-growing plants. It also thrives in large containers on terraces or balconies. The sturdy, dark blooms are well suited for cut flower arrangements, requiring only a few stems to create a bold, elegant display. This lily fits well into both naturalistic and traditional English-style plantings, making it a versatile option when choosing garden bulbs.
