Purple Prince Oriental Trumpet Lily

Deep, dark and 'princely' the name says it all. This strong-stemmed flower will look stately in every garden.

These lilies have been created by combining the unique features of both the Oriental and Trumpet lilies. The results are nothing less than spectacular and guarantee you get the best of both: strong fragrance, magnificent colours and impressive size - both in the bloom and the entire plant height. In fact, these hybrids will get taller and sturdier with each passing season sometimes reaching heights over 8 ft - 2.5 m!

They make excellent cut flowers and when planted in groups, their fragrance can fill the garden. Since they can grow to be so very tall we suggest planting them somewhere in the garden where they can be protected from strong winds. Plant them 12 in - 30 cm apart in a rather heavy soil with an ample supply of humus and good drainage. Remove faded flowers and do not cut back stems until autumn. Bulbs should not be lifted but left in the soil to bloom annually for many years.
