It’s for very good reason that Lilies sell out so quickly at garden centres - they’re such versatile, reliable and exotic perennials for bombastic shape, colour and scent.

From the towering Tiger Lily’s warm brilliance to Muscadet’s staggeringly broad saucers and powerful scent, we hear from Sarah & Arthur how to pick out the most vivacious varieties, protect them from lily beetle, and use them as gorgeous cut flowers.

In this episode, discover:

How to protect your lilies from lily beetle without the use of nasty insecticides
The most spectacular varieties of lily, from the white saucers of Muscadet to the soft scented Speciosum Rubrum
Essential care for lilies, from keeping them from going damp to staking them for strong, reliable growth
The best way to safely take lilies as cut flowers in a way that still lets them perennialise
