Description
Award winning 'Golden Splendour' is a very large Trumpet Lily with very large golden yellow flowers marked with burgundy on the outside. Plants that are well established in a good site can produce up to 20 blossoms on each stem and will flower for a long period.
'Golden Splendour' is also celebrated for it's fragrance so is often planted in pots on or near a seating area as well as being a valuable cut flower for the same reason.
Height 90-120cm. Flowering mid to late Summer.
When planting, each bulb should surrounded with a little sharp sand both under and above the bulb to keep slugs away and to ward off excessive wetness. As most liliums are stem rooting we strongly recommend you plant at 15cm deep. They give a much better display when planted in clumps of3,6 or 12 bulbs, 45cm apart.
Planting time is December to April. Lilium bulbs will greatly appreciate the shelter of low growing shrubs or other plants near their roots. In active growth, apply water freely and it is advised that every two weeks you apply a high potash liquid fertilizer.
