'Sugar Love'
Lilium 'Sugar Love' is a modern lily with undeniable stage presence, bringing drama and refinement to summer borders and large containers alike. From strong, upright stems rise generous, bowl-shaped flowers held facing upwards, as if deliberately displayed for admiration. The colouring of Lilium 'Sugar Love' is particularly captivating, with petals opening pale and fresh at the centre before deepening towards rich purplish pink at the tips. This natural two-tone effect gives each bloom remarkable depth and clarity, catching the light beautifully and drawing the eye from across the garden. Elegant yet bold, Lilium 'Sugar Love' feels equally at home in contemporary planting schemes or more traditional borders, where it brings a sense of polish without ever feeling stiff or overworked.
As the flowers mature, Lilium 'Sugar Love' reveals subtle variations in tone, making each bloom feel individual while maintaining a harmonious overall display. The up-facing form ensures the intricate colouring is always visible, whether planted at the front of a border or enjoyed close up in a pot on the terrace. Lilium 'Sugar Love' is also an excellent cut flower, its long-lasting blooms bringing the same sense of elegance indoors as they do outside. Planted in well-drained soil and a sunny position, Lilium 'Sugar Love' performs reliably year after year, offering a refined blend of softness and intensity that never fails to impress. It is a variety chosen not for subtlety, but for gardeners who enjoy plants with confidence, colour and unmistakable presence.

Plant profile
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.
