Planting Time

Plant African Queen trumpet lily bulbs from September to October. This timing allows the bulbs to establish strong roots before winter, setting the stage for healthy growth and abundant flowering in the following summer.

Planting Depth

Place bulbs at a depth of 12-15 cm in well-drained soil. This depth helps protect the bulbs over winter and encourages a robust root system for reliable growth year after year.

Spacing

Allow 30-40 cm between each bulb. Adequate spacing ensures that the plants have enough light and air circulation, supporting healthy stems and vibrant blooms.

Height

African Queen trumpet lilies typically reach 120-150 cm in height. Their impressive stature makes them suitable for both the centre of a border or as a striking backdrop in mixed plantings.

Flowering Time

This variety flowers from July to August. During this period, gardens are enhanced by large, trumpet-shaped flowers with distinctive orange-purple petals, adding a bold and elegant touch to the summer display.

Hardiness & Overwintering

Trumpet lilies are hardy and overwinter well in the ground. Lifting the bulbs is not necessary, but a layer of mulch can provide extra protection in particularly cold winters, ensuring reliable returns each year from these perennial bulbs.

Uses

African Queen trumpet lilies are ideal for group plantings, where their colour and form can create a cohesive and eye-catching effect. They also perform well as single specimens and their strong, tall stems make them excellent for cut flower arrangements. Their classic appearance and long-lasting flowers appeal to those who value both beauty and durability from their garden bulbs.
