Lilium Asiatic Bright Diamond
L3583
Description
Lilium ‘Bright Diamond’ produces brilliant pure white blooms that bring freshness and elegance to summer borders and patio containers. The upward-facing flowers of asiatic lily ‘Bright Diamond’ create a clean, luminous display that stands out beautifully among deeper greens and brighter companion plants.
Strong stems and reliable flowering make this striking variety ideal for beds, mixed borders, and cut flower arrangements, where its crisp colouring adds light and contrast throughout the season.
Care Guide
To cultivate lilies, choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil, digging a hole 15 cm deep. Plant the bulbs 15-23 cm apart, ensuring they sit 15 cm 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 45-150 cm, 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.
