Lilies - How they grow

Lilies never stop growing. Even in winter the bulb is busy forming the new stem in its very heart. Here is a record of one season in the lily growing world.

'Northern Carillion'

A spectacular lily which can grow very tall!

The trumpet lilies are in full bloom this month and many can be seen at our Show.

It can be very dry here in Christchurch at this time of year. It's important to keep the watering going, but do water the soil at the base of the lily as overhead sprinklers will cause blemishing on the blooms.

This exquisite little trumpet is rather special. Bred by Rex Lyes, it has a lovely cream colour, good texture and shape and a heavenly scent! What more could you want?
