Lily Pretty Woman brings a pure white bloom and a soft sweet fragrance to our collection of towering giant lilies. The stems get taller each year as these hardy lily bulbs return in spring to put on an elegant display of summer flowers. Thick sturdy stems require little staking – and will take some cutting!
Best left to enjoy in the garden rather than cutting for indoor use – we doubt you’ll have a vase big enough to display them! Set out in sunny borders or place in large containers on the patio to enjoy the scent. No matter where you place them, their fragrant perfume will fill the garden through summer.
Height 180cm (71″). Spread 45cm (18″).
Every part of the plant—leaves, seeds, flowers, and roots—can be toxic if consumed. It’s important to keep this in mind, especially if you have children or pets, as they might accidentally eat the plant. If you think your child or pet has ingested a lily, please seek medical help right away.
Growing Information
Oriental lilies prefer a moist, free draining, neutral to acid soil that is rich in organic matter. Prior to planting, add plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost to the soil to give your lilies the best start. When growing lilies in containers, use a loam based compost such as John Innes No.2. Lily bulbs should be planted at a depth of approximately 3 times their own height and 15cm (6″) apart. Planting deeply helps to protect the bulb during particularly hot periods. Choose a sheltered, sunny position where lilies will grow with their heads in the sun and their roots in the shade.
