Philippa - i planted 3 lilys bulbs last year very dark maroon colour ( looks similar to black jewel you are looking at ) i total forget about them. By time i notice slugs had nibbled right at very bottom of the plant and ruined 2 of the plants
But i mange to save them, put them in pot in greenhouse. now about 7 inch tall
I love lilium. I have few collections from asiatic,oriental and goliath lilies.I even propagated them .At first, i will write their name in each pot but they always ended mixing up together.
Hi just reporting back about my maroon lilys what are starting to flower . They not as dark as black jewel
But after a investigation today, my other lilys muscat - stargazer - tree lilys haven't fared so well. My muscat & stargazer were starting to rot, and the slugs have got my tree lilys . I have potted them up in the Greenhouse and hoping for the best
