Grown for their flamboyant, often fragrant blooms from late-spring to summer, lilies are a summer stalwart of herbaceous borders.

Lilies are well suited to growing in containers, which can be positioned in borders as and when you need them.

Oriental lilies tend to have large, fragrant, outward-facing facing flowers. Because blooms of many oriental lilies appear to look upwards, they are sometimes referred to as ‘stargazers’.

Lilium ‘Sorbonne’ bears bright pink, fragrant blooms with a white margin. A tall-growing variety, ‘Sorbonne’ is perfect for growing in a mixed herbaceous border, and makes a fantastic cut flower.
