Lilium, Asiatic Lily - Whistler - Intensely Decorative Summer Blooms - Bulbs - Large Pack - 10 pcs

The Asiatic Lily Whistler stands out for its striking height and distinctive orange-burgundy blooms, offering a refreshing alternative to more traditional lilies. Reaching up to 120 cm, this variety is valued for its upright growth and bold colours, which add structure and vivid contrast to any flower border. The tall stems support showy flowers that create an eye-catching focal point, ideal for multi-layered planting schemes. With a reputation for reliability and easy care, Whistler brings a touch of classic garden tradition in a modern, vibrant palette.

Planting Time

Plant Whistler Asiatic lily bulbs in autumn, ideally from September to October. This timing allows the bulbs to establish strong roots before winter, supporting vigorous growth and flowering in the following season.

Planting Depth

Set bulbs at a depth of 12-15 cm. This ensures they are well protected from winter frosts and provides the right environment for healthy shoot development.

Spacing

Allow 15-20 cm between each bulb when planting. This spacing helps the plants to develop fully and makes ongoing care and maintenance of your perennial bulbs straightforward.

Height

Lilium Whistler grows to 90-120 cm tall, making it suitable for the middle or back of borders. Its height ensures the vibrant blooms remain visible above lower-growing plants, contributing to a layered garden display.

Flowering Time

This variety flowers in June and July, producing clusters of orange-burgundy blooms that add dramatic colour during early to mid-summer. The flowers are particularly effective when combined with other seasonal plants.

Hardiness & Overwintering

Whistler Asiatic lilies are fully hardy and overwinter easily in the ground, with no need for lifting. Their resilience to low temperatures makes them a practical choice, even for less experienced gardeners.

Uses

Ideal for borders, mixed plantings with roses or other warm-toned lilies, and for brightening spaces near walls, fences or lawn edges. The long stems and lasting blooms also make Whistler an excellent option as cut flowers, maintaining their decorative appeal in vases.
