Lily Regale

An old-favourite with large, trumpet-shaped blooms of white with pink accents. Renowned for its intoxicating fragrance and symbolises purity and renewal, making it a popular choice for weddings and special occasions.

Also known as New Zealand Christmas Lily that usually flowers between early December and the New Year in most areas. 

The tall graceful stems can bear from 1-10 flowers and it is not unusual for two or more growing shoots to fuse together and send up flat shaped stems with up to 100 flowers on top.

Sow seeds very shallow, barely covering them with quality seed raising mix or vermiculite. Plant out when two or more true leaves have formed and healthy white roots are present. 

Good drainage is essential, and regular well-rotted mulch will keep the bulb cool, suppress weeds and provide it nutrition and organic matter. Protect against aphids and slugs.

Caution: All parts of this plant are poisonous to animals particularly cats. Exercise extreme caution around pets.
