Tiger Lilies Strawberry Event
L3265
Luxuriously dark Tiger Lily ‘Strawberry Event’ brings mystery and allure to summer borders. Appearing in abundance, the beautiful deep-red blooms hang shyly from tall, sturdy stems. Petals deepen to almost black towards their centres, where they hold a cluster of long stamens and velvet orange anthers.
Particularly effective when grown in groups, as a sweeping ribbon through a large border. Enhance the rich tones of tiger lilium 'Strawberry Event' with zingy green foliage, soft apricot, and terracotta shades.
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.
