The pristine blooms of Oriental Lily ‘Muscadet’ resemble the delicate beauty of a porcelain doll. Pearly, translucent white petals are tinted by a demure pink blush and maroon freckles.
This captivating oriental lilium flaunts sizeable, outward facing flowers borne on sturdy stems of up to 60 cm. A compact height makes Lilium ‘Muscadet’ an enchanting choice for confined spaces and container displays.
Be sure to position some near seating areas to be surrounded by their enthralling fragrance. This vigorous variety produces an abundance of blooms from July – August, providing a delightful spectacle for your garden throughout the summer months.
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.
