Description
Our Dutch Bulb Experts Adore These Giant Lilies!Year after year, these hybrids can be counted on to produce massive, up-facing trumpets of vivid colouration, exceptional form and—in many varieties—delicate fragrance. Every plant bears four to five elegant flowers in the very first year and from 20 to 30 blooms by year three!
These towering beauties quickly became a favourite with all of our staff here in Noordwijkerhout, Holland. Once we saw how well these amazing lily hybrids performed in our test gardens, we couldn't resist planting some around our building. Visitors to the office regularly compliment the Lily Trees, and we're sure your guests will be equally entranced!
Carefree and Easy to Grow
Lily Trees naturalize equally well in sandy and clay soils, and require no special care to multiply and spread yearly. The stems are so strong, the plant needs no added support. After the lily is done flowering, it will benefit from a feeding with Breck's Food for Bulbs and perennials to stimulate growth.
The Tallest Lilies Ever Grown!
Lily Trees are attention-getting hybrids that produce enormous flowers on thick stems that grow taller than most people! Our Dutch bulb experts in Holland have chosen their favourite varieties for these very special collections being offered. You won't believe your eyes, or your nose, when your garden is filled with their massive, colourful and often fragrant blooms. The fast-growing plants reliably reach 3-4' tall in the first year, 5-6' in height during year two and an astonishing 6-8' tall in the third year! Carefree and easy to grow, Lily Trees are ideal for planting in the back of borders or in the corner of beds—locations where their tremendous height can be fully appreciated. These excellent visual anchors will help define your landscape!

Important Shipping Notes:
Breck's times its shipments from Holland so that bulbs and bareroots arrive at the proper planting time (depending on climatic conditions) for each area of North America. To promote optimum stress protection in transit and your success in the garden, bareroot perennials are kept in the ground in our nurseries until fully dormant. In the Fall, these plants tend to arrive at the later end of the shipping window below.
We will pack and ship your order based on the following schedules. The type of product you order or the weather may affect the anticipated shipping schedule below. Based on the contents of your order we always strive to ship your order complete, and as early as possible in the planting season to allow for the best root development once planted.
