Description

Lilium Black Beauty  is offered in a larger bulb grade to support strong establishment and robust flowering. It is a good line for retailers who want a clear premium tier product that customers associate with quality and repeat performance.

Plant in sun or light shade in fertile, free draining soil. Avoid locations where water sits in winter. Plant bulbs at a suitable depth, water in well and keep moisture steady during active growth. In containers, use a free draining compost and ensure pots do not become waterlogged.

Mulching helps keep roots cool and reduces drying during warm spells. After flowering, remove spent blooms but leave foliage to feed the bulb for next year. In well drained Irish sites bulbs can remain in the ground, but where winter wet is a problem, recommend raised beds or containers.
