Turkish Cap Lilium Black Beauty
L3361
A refined and elegant Turkish Cap Lily ‘Black Beauty’ will produce as many as 40 flowers per plant once established, borne in stunning floral sprays.
The lightly-fragranced, claret-red blooms are outlined in white and hold a green star in the centre. Stems are straight, tall and strong – great for growing near the back of a garden border and ideal for cutting and adding to floral arrangements.
A sunny position and well-drained soil are best for this magnificent, Heirloom Turkish Cap Lilium 'Black Beauty' to thrive.
Care Guide
To cultivate lilies, choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil, digging a hole 15 cm deep. Plant the bulbs 15-23 cm apart, ensuring they sit 15 cm below the soil surface. Water the surrounding soil well, maintaining soil moisture until growth emerges. Young shoots may be susceptible to slug damage, so use wildlife-friendly methods such as a top layer of sand to protect emerging growth. Most Lilies can also be grown in pots – ensure containers are deep and have large drainage holes in the base. As the majestic stems ascend, they will reach heights of 45-150 cm, depending on variety. Support taller cultivars with stakes as they grow. Use dilute, balanced liquid plant feed every two weeks during the summer. Spray as soon as you notice the bright red lily beetle or their larvae.
