I planted them, probably not deep enough, and they have not |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Helen 1 of the bulbs never grow, one grow but was not a very good plant , it looked very sickly. The 3rd one was OK but I don't think I buy these again. Which was very disappointing as I had looked for these lilies for a look time. They seem hard to find. |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Patricia The bulbs came well packaged. The flowered really well. Hopefully they will last many years. Very pleased with them. |
