Grown for their flamboyant, often fragrant blooms from late-spring to summer, lilies are a stalwart of summer borders. They’re well suited to growing in containers, where they can be positioned in borders as and when you need them.

Lilium ‘Carbonero’ is a hybrid lily with bright pink flowers with freckled markings. It’s ideal for growing in ornamental displays with lighter-flowered lilies, and looks great in a vase.

For best results grow in Lilium ‘Carbanero’ in well-drained soil, in full sun, preferably with shade at the base. Alternatively it can be planted in deep containers, in loam-based compost.
