Grown for their flamboyant, often fragrant blooms from late-spring to summer, lilies are a stalwart of summer, herbaceous borders.
Lilies are well suited to growing in containers, where they can be positioned in borders as and when you need them.
Hardy Asiatic hybrid lilies tend to bloom earlier than other varieties, and have straight, sturdy stems and lots of star-shaped blooms, making them excellent for cutting. They come in a range of colours from soft pastels to bold reds and oranges.
Lilium ‘Dot Com’ bears pink to white flowers with a mass of bright maroon speckling towards the centre. Growing to a height of just 40cm, ‘Dot Com’ is perfect for growing at the front of a border or in containers, and makes an excellent cut flower.
