Unique, sunset colours make Lily ‘Zelmira’ a striking selection. The large flowers of this Oriental Lily are suffused with pink and apricot tones, set off with a subtly contrasting yellow/green throat. An intense, spicy fragrance accompanies the luminous, coral colouring. Enjoy this exotic beauty in borders or containers where it will bloom from mid to late summer. Ideally, place it somewhere you can easily enjoy its fantastic scent. Height: 1.2m (48in). Spread: 30cm (12in).

Feed and water oriental lily bulbs regularly throughout the growing season, keeping them moist at all times. Deadhead faded blooms at the base of the flower where they join the stem to prevent the development of seed pods. When cutting oriental lily flowers for indoor arrangements, it is important to leave a third of the stem intact in order to feed the bulb for the following year.
After flowering leave the stems intact until they begin to yellow in autumn. Reduce watering and move containers of lilies to a cool, frost free position over winter. Lilies grown in borders can be lifted, cleaned and stored for the winter, however in mild areas most lilies should survive outdoors provided that the soil is not too wet. A mulch of well rotted manure or garden compost should be applied in spring. Divide and repot container grown lilies into fresh compost every other year.
