Lilium Speciosum Lady Alice


Lilium Speciosum Lady Alice  (Lilium Speciosum Lady Alice)

This L. henryi hybrid has white petal tips, and the same “Turk’s Cap” flower shape as it's mother. Lots of blooms on a stem and very graceful. 'Lady Alice' flowers in July, reaching 4 to 5 Feet in height.

Lovely, and a nice height.

These lilies were only planted in the last year and they will take time to mature in the garden. I found lilies liked my garden and as I liked them I did plant quite a lot of new ones.

I love lilies as well, but tend to grow them in pots. How do they do in partial shade?

Full sun or partial shade seems to be the recommended position. I have these in full sun. I have oriental lilies growing under the pergola and it is verging on full to partial shade. I also have some in an east facing border under the apple trees and they are superb this year.

Thank you for that info, Scotsgran. I might try some bulbs in the border - parts of it are quite sunny.

If you plant them out mark the exact position,I tried a few in in the open ground and wondered why they were not growing and found slugs had chewed them as they came through the ground.

Thanks for that advice, Bjs. I will heed it. I often plant things out and completely forget where they should be coming up!
