FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Can I plant Lilium bulbs now in the UK?

Yes. Lilium bulbs can be planted in autumn or spring, and should be planted as soon as possible after delivery. Autumn planting helps the roots establish before winter, while spring-planted lilies usually flower later in the season.

Where is the best place to grow Lilium bulbs?

Most lilies grow best in full sun or light shade, in rich soil that drains well. Give the stems a sheltered position and keep the base of the plant cool with low planting or mulch, but avoid waterlogged ground as lily bulbs can rot.

Can I grow Lilium bulbs in pots?

Yes. Lilies grow very well in deep pots with drainage holes and fresh compost. Keep the compost evenly moist while the plants are growing, place the pot in a sunny position and use support for taller stems if needed.

Why have my lilies not flowered or fallen over?

Poor flowering can be caused by shade, dry soil while growing or a bulb that is still establishing. Tall lily stems may bend in wind or rain, so use canes or plant supports early in the season. Keep the leaves after flowering so the bulb can build energy for next year.

Are Lilium plants safe around cats?

No. All parts of true lilies, including the flowers, leaves, bulbs and pollen, are extremely toxic to cats. Do not grow or display Lilium where cats can access it. If you think a cat has eaten or come into contact with any part of a lily, contact a vet immediately.
