Planting lily bulbs

Plant the lily bulbs in the autumn, from October to December, or in the spring until April. Lilies like cool soil and a warm flower. But do plant outside the frost period, when the soil is not frozen. Lilies show their colours in early summer.

Order lily bulbs online

Lily bulbs are available almost all year round, from September to April (while stocks last). Of course, you can get involved in landscaping and decorating your surroundings before the season begins. It is therefore possible to order flower bulbs online before the season begins, to be sure of your preferred choice of lily bulbs. The lily bulbs are delivered at the right planting time! After you have placed your order, you will automatically receive an e-mail with an order confirmation. If you want more information about ordering, you can visit the page 'how to order'.

As soon as the lily bulbs are available, they will be delivered at your doorstep, or you can collect the order by appointment at Green Garden Flowerbulbs in Hillegom. If you would like more information about shipping, please visit the page 'shipping and delivery'.

Different kinds of lilies

We offer a wide range of lilies, such as the Asian group, the Oriental group, the Longiflorum group and the LA group (crosses between Asian lilies and Longiflorum lilies), so you can enjoy this exotic flower almost all year round. To make your choice, you can use the filter; for example, choose the bulb size, flowering period, colour, group or height. Lily bulbs can be planted manually in the ground. But for mass planting, you can also choose mechanical planting.

History of the lily

Originally, lilies were spread throughout the Northern Hemisphere. The white 'Madonna' lily (Lilium candidum) is the symbol of purity, virginity and chastity. Many paintings depict this lily for this reason. The French king Louis used the lily on his shield around 1150 as a symbol of his name (Louis or Loys) and power. In previous centuries, lilies were cultivated in monastery gardens as a raw material for medicines. The fragrant flower was used as a decoration in worship. Until well into the second half of the twentieth century, the cultivation of lilies remained limited. Lilies were mainly used as garden plants. New lilies were propagated from seed, often on small farms that combined cultivation with their other activities. Only after successful crossings, initially in the United States of America, did lilies suitable for the flower trade grow. The sale of lilies through the flower trade greatly stimulated this growth.
