Cut flower
Asiatic Lily
Both lilies thrive in well-drained soil and bloom at staggered times, maximizing garden color without competing for nutrients.
Cut flower
Oriental Lily
Tiger lilies bloom earlier, attracting pollinators for Oriental lilies later; different bulb depths prevent root zone competition.

Where to source
Get growing in United Kingdom
Shop local first
The best plants come from a real nursery, and the best trowel comes from the old-fashioned ironmonger down the road — people who know their stock and can advise. Try local first, both for the plant and the kit. It keeps small growers and small hardware shops alive.

For pots, compost, seed trays, twine and other kit — Amazon has the essentials if the local option isn't right. Not a plant nursery; use the local map above for the plant itself.
