Lilies are showstopping bulbous plants, celebrated for producing large star-like or trumpet-shaped blooms that tend to have a heady fragrance. Whether grown in pots or borders, enjoying the perfume of a lily plant on a late summer evening is enchanting.
As a professional gardener, I have grown lilies in many different places where I have worked. I have mostly grown them in pots. This is useful as containers can be positioned within borders and beds, almost like a temporary installation to be removed once flowering is finished. This trick can help to add interest and variation to garden borders throughout the year.
