The pure color of the white lily has been enchanting since time immemorial. As the messages say, the lily has been synonymous with purity and beauty since ancient times. The lily was described by Charles Linnaeus (a Swedish botanist and physician who created the system for the classification of organisms) as early as 1753.Available varieties bloom in white, pastel, possibly in shades of red, orange, yellow.
Lily - developmental features
The bulbs are 3 to 10 cm in size. Numerous glistening leaves grow out of them. Lilies can grow on one site for years, then gradually develop more and more inflorescences consisting of clusters of up to 30 flowers (sometimes more).Tall varieties can reach 200 cm, the lowest ones can only reach 30 cm.
Lily stand
Lilies prefer damp, cool places in partial shade in a permeable, humus substrate.If the lily grows in the company of dwarf woody plants, only its lower parts will be in the shade, and the flowers will be will be sunk in the sun. Such a sight is quite common in nature.
Planting lilies
Lilies should be planted in October to a depth three times greater than the height of the bulb (the exception is the white lily, which is planted 2-3 cm deep).A layer of sand drainage will protect the bulbs from rotting.
