Spirited and exuberant, Asiatic Lily ‘Red Highland’ is like a floral Highland fling, jigging and reeling through the summer months. One of the earliest lilies to flower, the plump, elongated buds burst open to reveal a blaze of scarlet blooms. The fiery petals are set against verdant leaves, in a red-and-green colour combination like a classic tartan.
With sturdy stems reaching up to 100 cm, this asiatic lilium 'Red HIghland' is an eye-catching addition to the backs of your borders. Bearing up to seven blooms per stem, this bountiful variety makes an exquisite cut flower, creating an entire bouquet with just a few snips of your secateurs.
All lilies love the sun, especially in the morning, but need well-drained soil. Mulch around the base to protect bulbs and retain moisture for healthy, vibrant blooms.
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.
