Plant details
Fire King' is a vibrant lily with orange, outward-facing flowers which are spotted with purple inside and have recurved petals. They provide height and colour in 'hot' borders during the summer. The bulbs are best planted in autumn while they are still plump. They should go in 2-3 times their own depth and at the equivalent spacing between bulbs. In the border, they enjoy well-drained soil in full sun, with shade at the base. Alternatively they can be planted in deep containers, using loam-based compost, such as John Innes No2.
