- Position: full sun
- Soil: fertile, moist, well-drained soil (or John Innes no. 3 compost for containers)
- Rate of growth:
average- Flowering period:
July to August- Hardiness:
frost hardy (may need protection in winter)
Huge globes of tightly packed, snowy white, trumpet-shaped flowers rise above broad, evergreen, strap like leaves in July and August. This stunning African lily is particularly free-flowering, and it will add height to the middle of a sunny, moist, but well-drained border. It also looks fabulous grown as a specimen in a large patio pot. Although hardier than some other varieties, in cold, exposed areas container-grown specimens will benefit from a deep, dry winter mulch. - Garden care: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser throughout the growing season. Keep reasonably dry during the winter and protect the crowns with a dry mulch in the autumn. Divide plants that have become too big in spring, but remember you will often get more flowers when the roots are constricted.
