Lilium regale

This is the true, old fashioned exquisite Christmas Lily. Lillium longiflorum seems to have usurped the name in latter years. Beautiful fragrant flared trumpets of crystalline white, claret backed flowers. Generally starts with us in the second week of December and finishes early in the new year. It is pretty drought tolerant too as we’ve had it growing in a garden bed near the house which is barely watered. Sun or light shade. 120cm x 30cm.
