 DESCRIPTION
Lilies are not just beautiful cut flowers. In perennial beds same as carefully planted among shrubs or trees they will dazzle with bright colours, shapes, and sizes of their blooms. And be sure we select the grandest of the great ones only!

Red Alert is a hybrid lily between longiflorum and Asiatic. The flowers are large, deep red, and unlike other LA hybrids they have a light sweet perfume. It has strong stems and flowers profusely. Grows about 1m tall.

Lilies are easy, maintenance-free tuberous perennials that do best when left grown without taking out. They need fertile, slightly acidic soil, always moist, even in winter. Plant the bulbs at a depth of 2-3 times their height. Check for pests after the leaves have emerged. Fully hardy.
