Lilium Asiatic Levi
L3051
Description
Asiatic lily ‘Levi’ produces stunning, star-shaped blooms in strawberries and cream shades of soft pink and white.
This beautifully romantic-looking lily makes a wonderful cut flower. Trim the golden stamens after cutting to avoid pollen shedding on clothes or upholstery.
A new and reliable lily which performs well in pots and containers and can be grown in garden borders, providing the soil is very well drained – adding a layer of grit under the bulbs at planting time is recommended.
Care Guide
To cultivate lilies, choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil, digging a hole 15cm deep. Plant the bulbs 15-23cm apart, ensuring they sit 15cm below the soil surface. Water the surrounding soil well, maintaining soil moisture until growth emerges. Young shoots may be susceptible to slug damage, so use wildlife-friendly methods such as a top layer of sand to protect emerging growth. Most Lilies can also be grown in pots – ensure containers are deep and have large drainage holes in the base. As the majestic stems ascend, they will reach heights of 45-150cm, depending on variety. Support taller cultivars with stakes as they grow. Use dilute, balanced liquid plant feed every two weeks during the summer. Spray as soon as you notice the bright red lily beetle or their larvae.
