About Lily
Lilies are classic, elegant flowering bulbs, highly prized in UK gardens for their dramatic blooms and often fragrant flowers. They are relatively easy to grow and can provide a stunning display from early summer through to autumn, depending on the variety. Many varieties are well-suited to the UK climate, thriving in borders or containers.
Outdoor garden plant. Bulb. Typically flowers around Jun, Jul, Aug.
