Sprekelia formosissima Jacobean Lily – 4 pack

Sprekelia Jacobean Lily is a wonderful, striking flower which will give you an amazing floral display. The blooms emerge on tall stems which appear through the foliage. The leaves are thin, strappy and a rich green. The flowers first emerge in Summer and are brilliant bright red, orchid-like. The blooms can be used for cut flower arrangements. Sprekelia Jacobean Lily is best grown in full sun in humus-rich, free-draining friable soil. Plant bulbs in Winter for optimum results. Each Winter, apply a top-dressing of well-rotted animal manure to the soil as this will assist the bulb to produce large blooms. Keep plants well-watered throughout the warmer months, applying a layer of mulch around the base of the plant once it has broken dormancy will help to retain more moisture when it is needed. Fertilise with either a bulb feed or an all-purpose food in peak growing seasons. No need for cool-season storage.
