Lilium Oriental Gold Party
L3191
Vivid yellow blooms edged and spotted with rich burgundy-purple, creating a bold exotic display full of colour and contrast.
The upward-facing flowers of Lilium ‘Gold Party’ bring strong visual impact to summer borders, patio pots, and decorative containers, with each bloom showing unique flecking and pattern detail.
Its compact stems make Asiatic lily Gold Party especially suitable for container growing, smaller gardens, and tighter planting spaces where reliable colour and structure are needed. Flowering through high summer, Lilium ‘Gold Party’ thrives in full sun with moist, well-drained soil and adds warmth, fragrance, and vibrant seasonal interest year after year.
Care Guide
To cultivate lilies, choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil, digging a hole 15cm deep. Plant the bulbs 15-23cm apart, ensuring they sit 15cm 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 45-150cm, 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.

More and More
N0478
This aptly named little live-wire just keeps on giving: Jonquilla Narcissi ‘More and More’ produces masses of button-like blooms, flowering for longer than any other. Highly productive despite its petite stature, multiple heads are borne on each stem for an impressive, floriferous show. This hard-working, fantastically fragrant narcissus is especially suited to animating rockeries, dotting along pathways, edging borders, and brightening pots.
Continuing to flower after most other daffodils have petered out, narcissus ‘More and More’ then seamlessly passes the baton on to the tulips as the season continues. Its slender, chive-like foliage fades subtly, ready to reappear the following year.

The distinctive split corona of narcissus ‘Tricollet’ gives each bloom a beautifully open and layered appearance, adding texture and visual interest to borders, containers, and seasonal planting displays.
Flowering on sturdy stems through spring, this eye-catching variety brings warmth, freshness, and a more unusual floral form to the garden.

Flaming Purissima
T1123
With gorgeously marbled, silken petals, Fosteriana ‘Flaming Purissima’ is flushed with pink markings of varying intensity, from deep raspberry through to pale apple blossom. This variety features all the qualities of its award-winning forebear tulip ‘Purissima’, such as sizeable, perfectly formed blooms and elongated stems, with the additional advantage of intricately patterned petals.
The irregular feathering means that no two flowers are the same, resulting in an extraordinary display when planted in swathes amongst borders and when grouped closely in containers. These exquisite tulips make superb cut flowers and are an enchanting addition to any bouquet or floral arrangement.
