Lilium Casa Blanca

Upright plants with huge, scented, sparkling white, waxy flowers, palest pink on the reverse with big, dark anthers that look as though they have been brushed with mascara, an Oriental hybrid. They do not grow so well in very limey soils and may be less tolerant of unusually cold winters, but fantastic in pots in more ericaceous compost where the late flowering and very heavy scent can be enjoyed to the full. They may require staking where the light is not so good or one sided.

RHS Award of Garden Merit.

This plant/cultivar has been awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit because it has proved to be reliable in appropriate conditions and a good performing plant. 

Planting Instructions

Plant 5-6" (12-15cm) deep and 6"(15cm) apart in not too limey, very well prepared soil (in sheltered gardens) or in big pots. Be careful of the red Lily Beetle (for which we have no answer). Vigilance in picking off the larvae and squashing any adults is all that works without chemicals.
