    About Lilium candidum

    The Madonna lily

    Well known as the lovely Madonna lily, and the one lily in the catalogue that belongs to the autumn rather than the spring. Unlike most lilies, candidum wants planting in late summer, a point the letters make most years. Plant early and shallow.

    Shallow, sunny, and left alone

    This variety requires shallow planting, approximately 5cm of soil on top of the bulb, which is far less than any other lily you will grow. Select an open position in the garden. It thrives in alkaline soil and resents being moved once settled. Our comprehensive collection of lilies is offered in the spring catalogue.

      The bulbs supplied by Bloms cost the most, gave the most flowers (26), were of top quality and had the potential of doubling themselves next year. The trials indicated that you get what you pay for.
