• Two years ago my wife and her friend bought a dried up lily each for a pound.

    Last year during lockdown I potted it up and tended it regularly and it came up to about 0.5m in height with one nice flower.

    However my wife's friend planted hers in the garden and it looked amazing.

    So last autumn I planted ours in a suitable spot in our garden.

    Fast forward to today and its about 1.5m tall with multiple flowers which have just started to flower.

    We still refer to it as 'Poundland Lily'

  • Amazing!

    This year my potted lilies did better than the ones I planted in the garden, but perhaps need to move the garden planted ones as it's a bit shaded where they are.
