In the garden

A member of the genus Lilium (family Liliaceae), Lilium 'Palazzo'PBR is a bulbous, herbaceous perennial with an upright habit and linear, lance-shaped foliage. It flowers from June to August and is cultivated primarily for use in borders and as a source of cut stems. Plant in full sun on a south-facing site sheltered from strong winds; exposure on the sheltered side helps protect the flowering stems. Use loam that drains well and has a neutral to slightly acidic pH, and keep soil moisture moderate rather than waterlogged. The variety carries an H5 hardiness rating — hardy in most UK gardens — though the recommended sheltered, sunny aspect improves performance and flowering reliability. Lilium 'Palazzo'PBR sits well at the back or middle of perennial borders where upright stems can be supported by neighbouring plants, and its stems make practical, long-lasting flowers for cutting during the June–August season. To get the best vase life, harvest stems while flowers are opening during that period and condition them as you would other lilies for cut displays.
