Plant lily bulbs within one to two weeks of delivery, as they dislike drying out. Until planting, keep them somewhere cool, dry and frost-free.
The textured and slightly hairy nature of oriental lilies give the blooms of Lily 'Casa Blanca' a slightly different look, softening the intense white of this magnificent flower and taking the glare off its icy surface. Proud and tall, 'Casa Blanca' is a top choice as far as lilies go. Its recurved flowers are large and stunningly white, the only contrasting colour being in the green stamen and burnt-orange anthers. Proud of their appearance, these lilies turn their faces outwards to greet those who gather to admire them.
White Oriental Lily 'Casa Blanca' is also fragrant, so after making your acquaintance it will leave you with a scent to remember it by when it moves on to greet newcomers.

Choose full sun or partial shade with rich, well-drained soil. For containers, use peat-free multipurpose or soil-based compost with added horticultural grit.
Plant bulbs pointed side upwards, 15–20cm deep and 15–20cm apart. Arrange them in groups of three to five for a generous, natural-looking display.
Water after planting, then keep the soil evenly moist once growth appears. Avoid waterlogging, particularly while the bulbs are dormant, and never let containers dry out completely.
Add stakes when planting taller varieties to avoid damaging the bulbs later. Remove faded flowers, but allow stems and foliage to yellow naturally before cutting them back.
