Lilium Asiatic Ilse
L3185
Description
The canary yellow blooms of Asiatic Lily ‘Ilse’ sing of sunshine, bursting with enthusiasm and cheer. The flowers flaunt six broad, golden petals, freckled at the base, surrounding a crown of elongated stamens.
These Asiatic hybrids carry minimal scent – perfect for those who usually find the fragrance of lilies overwhelming. The upward-facing blooms are carried on dark, leafy stems. Reaching a height of 45cm, this petite lily variety will bring joyful exuberance to container displays and gardens where space is at a premium.
Asiatic Lilium 'Ilse' loves 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.
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.
