Lilium Elodie

Very pretty pale pink semi-double flowers. Pollen free so no sneezing or pollen on your clothes! Excellent cut flower and garden lily. To grow them well remember that they mostly come from areas of high rainfall but very well drained soils (often on hillsides). So they do need access to moisture and for that (in our drier climate) one needs to bury lots of good well rotted humus or muck under them. Pale pink semi double flowers from  mid June. 3-4' tall.

Planting instructions

In pots or garden, 4-6 " deep, 6-8" apart in sun/part shade in well prepared soil.

Be careful of the lily beetle (for which we have no answer).  Vigilance in picking off the larvae and squashing any adults is all that works without chemicals.
