Brasilia (syn. 'Zora’)
In summer the pointed pink buds open to reveal pale blush flowers, which deepen in colour towards the outer edges of the petals. Magnificent when in full bloom, the flaring trumpet-shaped flowers are held in branched clusters and have a delicious scent. Flowers July to August. Grows to 5ft tall.
'La Mancha’ (PBR)
The rich raspberry petals of this oriental lily have a darker central band and a near-white edge, which creates a beautiful bi-coloured effect that is further enhanced by a scattering of dark freckles. Not only beautiful to look at, they also have a glorious scent, and they make excellent, long-lived cut flowers. Flowers July to August. Grows to 4ft tall.
'Alma Ata’ (PBR)
Pure white flowers with a sweet, spicy fragrance, appear in open clusters on top of the sturdy, upright stems from midsummer. More compact than many other forms, it will stand up well in poor weather conditions and is particularly well-suited to pots. Flowers July to August. Grows to 3ft 6in tall.
