African Queen Trumpet Lily

African Queen offers one of the loveliest fragrances! Its huge trumpets are an exquisite mix of caramel-orange shades that are long lasting and stay true to colour even in the heat of summer.

More tubular in shape, these lilies resemble splayed trumpets and will produce long flowers up to 8 in – 20 cm long. They are intoxicatingly fragrant and will continue grow in height from season to season so be sure to plant them where they will be protected from strong winds. They prefer 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.
