Tree Lily Collection

sent for these.My wife loves Lillies she'll have a shook if they get to this hight'th:hehe:
[FONT=arial,helvetica]This gorgeous collection comprises: Tree Lily Nymph, Tree Lily Manisa and Tree Lilt Sartre. Tree Lily Nymph has champagne coloured blooms with eye-catching deep red flashes. Tree Lily Manisa has pale cream blooms with warm golden centres and Tree Lily Sartre has bright pink blooms with licks of golden yellow at the heart of each petal. Simply plant the bulbs in a sunny or part-shaded spot at the back of the border, against walls and fences, or in large pots for the patio, and let them look after themselves. Their sturdy stalks are almost 5cm (2") thick, so they don't need supporting and the foliage remains lush all season. It couldn't be easier! This also has the unique ability to produce many offshoots from a single bulb and take on a shrub-like appearance over the years.
In your garden border or pots, plant the bulbs at a minimum of 10cm to a maximum of 16-18cm deep. This will provide a good layer of insulation and prevent the bulbs from freezing. The bulbs may sprout, but stem growth will be very limited due to low soil temperatures.Click Link

Whenever something is idiot proof I always ask someone less idiotic than me to do it

 

Idiot proof eh ? Well, idiots can be very resourceful :D
