Our Skyscraper Lily Collection just got better!! The same incredible giant tree-lilies, but with two gorgeous new colours, this Premium Collection includes 5 spectacular varieties that are sure to make a statement in your garden. Growing so tall they look like trees, in their first year they will reach up to 1.5m (5ft) tall, but in future years once they are fully established, they will get even taller up to 6 or even 7 foot tall eventually! These large flowered beauties arise as a consequence hybridisation between Oriental and Trumpet strains of lily hence the marriage of both species characteristics. Every flower carries a wonderful heady perfume and each individual stem can carry well over 20 blooms, which can measure well over 15cm (6in) across. This collection comprises of 15 top-sized bulbs, 3 of each variety, the same as used by commercial flower growers in Holland: NEW! Salterello - bright golden apricot to orange NEW! Amarossi - a lovely wine red Conca d'Or - gorgeous soft lemon yellow Robina - nice mid pink with magenta tones Matisse - cream-edged to red centres, a classic two-tone Lily Grow all 5 in large pots about 15cm apart, or in groups in garden borders. They have very strong stems, so should not need support. Cut them for the long-lasting displays in the vase, or leave them to marvel at in your garden. Allow them to die down naturally after flowering, and they will build up reserves for even bigger and better displays the following year. Fully winter hardy, they will last for many years.

When thinking of Gypsophila, tall stems covered in tiny white flowers used in flower bouquets come to mind. But that's just one variety of this interesting and versatile perennial, which is a member of the carnation family. 'Pretty Maid', also called the Mouse-eared Gypsophila, is a compact plant which forms a neat mound of glossy mid-green, semi-evergreen oval foliage and trumpet-shaped flowers that look similar to small petunias, about 1cm across between April and June. The blooms are pure white with lovely pink veining and a delightfully sweet fragrance, appearing prolifically and standing out beautifully in contrast to the leaves. Happy in the ground and particularly attractive growing in pots, 'Pretty Maid' will thrive in sun or partial shade in soil that is a little dry as it doesn't like to grow in overly wet ground. Bees and other pollinators love this pretty Gypsophila, with its flowers being a great source of early nectar as spring gets underway.

A very sturdy, tall tulip, it is ideal for creating a mass of warm, spring colour, and it looks great growing with orange and pink varieties. The huge, long lasting flowers and strong, straight stems make them perfect for cutting.
