Foxtrot
L3175
Compact Asiatic lily ‘Foxtrot’ is a delicate, yet showy beauty for feature summer containers and patio pots.
Soft salmon-pink blooms with dark pink veins and a lemony centre bloom atop sturdy stems throughout June and July. Numerous lime green buds produce an abundance of blooms over several weeks.
Shorter than many lily varieties at 45cm tall, the stems are still long enough for cutting and adding impact to summery floral displays and colourful bouquets. Flowers will last over a week in a vase of fresh water.
The flowers bear little or no perfume – if this is important to you, we recommend planting next to Oriental or Lotus lilies to compliment and introduce scent into the garden.
