Jersey lily

Plant bulbs only just below the soil surface, when dormant, in moderately fertile, light, free-draining soil; extra grit can be added to improve drainage. Will do best when baked in full sun and with shelter from harsh frosts

No pruning required

Propagate by seed, sowing them in containers in a cold frame when ripe or in the spring. Alternatively remove offsets in autumn

Bulbs damaged by large narcissus bulb fly. Aphids, mealybugs and glasshouse red spider mite may be a problem when grown under glass

Generally disease free
