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.
'Pink Perfection'
Sheer grandeur and stunning beauty is synonymous with trumpet Lily 'Pink Perfection', a show-stopping beauty with trumpet flowers that can measure up to 25 cm (10 inch) from start to edge of their funnel shape. The impressiveness of this almost violet pink bloom touched with gold at the throat will be multiplied several times on one stem. And each of these large and long-lasting blooms will release a wonderful fragrance into the mid to late summer air. Lily 'Pink Perfection' will blast out her presence in the garden, or in a container on the patio, with her trumpet pointed at you to ensure attention, and only drop it slightly downward once she’s sure she’s got it!

Plant calendar
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.
