lillies

West Yorkshire, United Kingdom

I have just ordered 100 tiger lilly bulbs, which is the best way to plant them, single or in groups, they are going into a front flower bed for the summer.

In largish groups, they tend to get lost singly and if one doesn't come up you'll get gaps.

Thanks for that, we was not quite sure how to plant them but what you say makes sense, glad I asked.

i have them in clumps of 3/5 but they do multiply. they are stunning plants. I started them of in 3 litre rose pots so they had the best start. I put them in about 6" deep. when the top growth was about 7" I planted them out into a well dug hole with lots of leaf mould added. I use old 3ft stems from elder prunings as stakes. hope this helps.
