How are they different to ordinary lillies then?

from what I"ve been told they grow as tall as 5 or 6 feet tall over a period of years hence the name,ordinary lillies don`t grow that tall (not the ones i"ve had anyway) and then you get a profusion of flowers.

It's just that I bought a pot that were just marked 'lilum mixed' and they've grown really tall (well about 18")with about half a dozen flower heads on each. I've been waiting weeks for the flowers to open. They're just in a pot by the way, not in the garden.

don`t know if you watch richard jackson on ideal world,but it was his programme were i purchased these you got 9 bulbs for £16 if memory serves me correctly, he then showed a photo of them in a very large tub with the owner standing next to them and they towered over the owner,so needless to say i was impressed enough to buy some and have a go.

Wow, that is very tall then (unless he's a dwarf lol). I don't think the ones I've got will grow that big. By the way, I bought them in the £ shop - you'll never guess how much they were? yeah £1:)))

well done you!!
these lillies will grow larger every year,
I"ll have to measure them to see how tall they are this year and keep a record of there growth,just to check on what richard jackson claims!!
