Tree Lily Collection

... and when something is NOT idiot proof I ask someone less idiotic than me to do it

 

:gnthb: They look and sound lovely, they're giving away a set if you subscribe to gardens monthly this months issue.....i'm quite tempted! :thmb:

 

they'l be no good for bees if you cut the pollen bits off

 

well the little critters are up;


so i'll have 5 along here to make a sort of screen for us;


and the others i'll stick here with my fuchsias that climb,to fill in the gap nicely with a smiging of tidying up;

 

I've only just received mine. Got them in the garden today - so now it's fingers crossed

 

How did they turn out then? Did they live up to the hype? I've planted some this season

 

ive just ordered some from ebay...pollen free http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350555550...AX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_887wt_1037

 

My bulbs have come today,how deep do i plant them kristen?

 

Normal advice would be 3x the height of the bulb I think (which would be say 6") but planting deep keeps them cooler, which I think helps, so I would suggest 8" deep. I have read of some issues with keeping them alive over winter, so you might want to include some grit / horticultural sand under them (if you have heavy soil).

They are a bit late for this year (if in the ground they would be up and above-ground by now), so don't expect too much from them this year - they take 2 or 3 years to get to the point where they are putting on some impressive top-growth

 

thanks,mine have sprouted would that make a diff to the depth planted? got some sharp sand will that do? i bought them just to fill a planter with a trellis on it i couldnt think what else to put in it til i seen this thread so im in no rush with them x
