Description

The lustrous white blooms of lilium ‘Gwen’ will gleam like precious pearls in your garden. Generous, broad blooms are held on short, sturdy stems which are densely covered with glossy leaves. Reaching a petite height of 45cm, this neat variety is ideal for filling containers and edging borders. Upward-facing flowers open early in June and are produced over a long period. This Asian hybrid has a barely discernible scent – an excellent choice for those who usually find the fragrance of lilies overpowering. Captivating with its refined, simple elegance, ‘Gwen’ is a chic and stylish addition to your summer display.

Care Guide

To cultivate lilies, choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil, digging a hole 15cm deep. Plant the bulbs 15-23cm apart, ensuring they sit 15cm below the soil surface. Water the surrounding soil well, maintaining soil moisture until growth emerges. Young shoots may be susceptible to slug damage, so use wildlife-friendly methods such as a top layer of sand to protect emerging growth. Most Lilies can also be grown in pots – ensure containers are deep and have large drainage holes in the base. As the majestic stems ascend, they will reach heights of 45-150cm, depending on variety. Support taller cultivars with stakes as they grow. Use dilute, balanced liquid plant feed every two weeks during the summer. Spray as soon as you notice the bright red lily beetle or their larvae.
