Product description
Lilium Purple Dream, commonly known as the Purple Dream Lily, is a stunning addition to any garden, renowned for its vibrant purple blooms and delightful fragrance. These lilies grow on tall, sturdy stems and feature gracefully curved petals that make them a visual delight. Blooming from June to August, this variety is perfect for adding a splash of colour and elegance to borders, beds, and container gardens.
This exquisite lily is as versatile as it is beautiful. Purple Dream thrives in sunny or partially shaded spots, making it suitable for a variety of garden settings. Its fragrant flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, enriching your garden's biodiversity. Perfect for cutting gardens, the blooms also make captivating floral arrangements, retaining their charm and scent indoors.
To enjoy a spectacular display, plant the bulbs approximately 15cm deep and 30cm apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Regular watering is key, especially during dry periods, but avoid waterlogged conditions. After the flowering season, deadhead spent flowers to encourage fresh growth and allow the foliage to die back naturally before cutting the stems. In colder regions, mulch in late autumn to protect the bulbs through winter, ensuring a vibrant display the following summer.
