GENERAL DESCRIPTION

“REGALE LILY” PRODUCES MAGNIFICENT, FRAGRANT, TRUMPET FLOWERS ATOP TALL LEAFY STEMS IN MID-LATE SUMMER. THIS HARDY PERENNIAL FROM WESTERN CHINA IS VISUAL AND FRAGRANCE ROYALTY!! STEMS ARE OFTEN PURPLISH GREY-GREEN AND ARE TOPPED IN A BRANCHED CANDELABRA OF UP TO 25 BURGUNDY-FLUSHED FLOWERS BUDS. FLOWERS ARE BROAD AND BEAUTIFUL: HELD OUTWARDS, THEY HAVE RECURVED (BENT BACK) PETALS AND ARE WHITE WITH A BRIGHT YELLOW THROAT. THE OUTSIDE OF THE TRUMPET REMAINS VIOLET-BURGUNDY UPON WHITE. LARGE GOLDEN ANTLERS TEEMING WITH POLLEN COMPLETE THE ENSEMBLE. TRUE TO ITS NAME, THE REGAL FLOWERS ACCOMPANIED WITH FRAGRANCE MAKES THIS A “MUST HAVE” FOR A PERENNIAL BORDER OR COTTAGE GARDEN. IF PLANTED IN THE AUTUMN, THEY WILL FLOWER IN THE SPRING.

“REGALE” HAS RECEIVED THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY’S AWARD OF GARDEN MERIT (AGM) WHICH IS FOR PLANTS OF OUTSTANDING EXCELLENCE.

CULTIVATED FOR OVER 5 THOUSAND YEARS LILIES ARE UNDOUBTEDLY ONE OF THE MOST BELOVED AND TREASURED OF ALL PERENNIAL GARDEN FLOWERS. THEY ARE UNDENIABLY BEAUTIFUL. FROM WHEN THEY FIRST BREAK THE TOPSOIL LILIES COMMAND ATTENTION, THE STEMS WITH THEIR SPIRALS OF FRESH CLEAN-CUT NARROW LEAVES, LENGTHEN AT AN ALMOST VISIBLE RATE AND ARE SOON TOPPED BY PROLIFIC BUDS THAT HINT OF THE EXOTIC BLOOMS TO COME.

LILY BULBS SHOULD BE PLANTED IN HOLES SUCH THAT THE TOPS OF THE BULBS ARE ABOUT 12 CM UNDERGROUND. SPRINKLE A SMALL AMOUNT OF FERTILIZER INTO THE HOLE BEFORE PLACING THE BULBS. LILIES PREFER FULL TO PARTIAL SUN AND NEUTRAL, WELL-DRAINED HUMUS-RICH SOIL. THEY ARE PERFECT FOR CUTTING GARDENS, SUMMER CONTAINERS AND MIXED BORDERS. IF THE LILIES GROW MORE THAN 90 CMS, THEY MAY REQUIRE STAKING ALTHOUGH YOU WILL LIKELY FIND THE STEMS ARE INCREDIBLY STRONG. AS SOON AS BUDS FORM IS THE TIME TO BEGIN STAKING THE PLANTS. LILIES ARE LONG LASTING IN THE GARDEN AND IN BOUQUETS.

THEY WILL MULTIPLY EACH YEAR AND EVERY FEW YEARS WILL REQUIRE THINNING, SO THAT THEY DON’T BECOME TOO CROWDED. ALLOW THE PLANTS TO DIE OFF NATURALLY RATHER THAN CUTTING THEM DOWN AFTER BLOOMING. THIS WILL ENSURE THE BULBS HAVE SEEN A FULL RETURN OF NUTRIENTS FROM THE PLANT BEFORE WINTER.
