This Asiatic lily is a love-it or loathe-it baby pink, with deeper pink edges and centres. It’s pollen-free, so won’t stain clothes or hands, or drop onto tablecloths if you cut them for the house. Unscented and like all asiatics, easy to grow, in any free-draining soil, but they do need alkaline pH.
This can be gift wrapped in our exclusive hessian sack, with ribbon and a Sarah Raven gift card. You will be able to add this to your basket once you begin the checkout process. To add a gift message to your order, simply fill out the details at the delivery stage of the checkout.

Sowing, Seeds, Planting | Plant 15cm (6in) deep in well-drained soil enriched with leaf mould or well-rotted organic matter. If you have moist/boggy soil, plant with plenty of grit or try planting the bulbs on their side to prevent moisture being trapped inside the bulb. |
Care Tips | Likes a cool root run. When planting, envelop the bulbs in sharp sand (particularly in heavy soils). Just leave them where they are from one year to the next, or plant them in a pot and sink them in the ground somewhere very prominent in the garden for lifting out of the wet and cold until the following spring. Remove seed heads unless required and cut down stems once foliage dies down. Plants may be affected by lily beetle, so keep your eyes peeled! |
Flowering | June - July |
Vase Life | When cutting, leave enough stem and foliage for photosynthesis and food storage. This is a pollen free lily which will not stain clothes if you brush against anthers. Also cat friendly. Lilies all have a good, long vase life. Remove their stamens to prolong it even further and top up/change their water regularly. |
