The trumpet shaped Lily 'African Queen' bears large, pale apricot, trumpet-shaped flowers from July right through to September. They exhale a delicious fragrance.

Lilies like a well worked, enriched soil before plantation.
Plant the bulbs approximately every 60 to 80 cm, buried at a depth of 10 to 15 cm for dwarf varieties, and 15 to 20 cm for tall ones.
Press lightly to eliminate the air pockets that could be in contact with the bulbs' roots.
Then cover the soil with a layer of vegetal mulch to reduce weeds growth.
