Lilium Oriental Hachi
L3861
Description
Lily ‘Hachi’ is a masterpiece of nature’s artistry, with astonishing blooms characterised by striking markings. Sparkling white margins are set in stark contrast to broad, burgundy-cerise markings emblazoned along the centre of each petal, daubed like bold brush strokes on a blank canvas. From July to August, the star-shaped, upward facing flowers are an arresting sight amongst borders and large containers, reaching a height of 100cm. As a cut flower, this Oriental hybrid is a true work of art, distinguishing your bouquets and arrangements with confident colour, an impressive vase life, and superb scent.
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.
