lily 'Eyeliner'

Plant bulbs in autumn, 15cm deep, in most but well-drained soil enriched with leaf mould or well-rotted organic matter, in a sheltered position, with the base of the plant in shade, for example from ground-cover plants, and the rest of the plant in full sun or light dappled shade; for more advice, see growing lilies in containers

No pruning required but deadheading will improve their appearance

Propagate by division: detach offset bulblets when the leaves die down and plants become dormant

May be affected by lily beetle, aphids, slugs, snails, thrips, leatherjackets, and wireworms, and by rabbits and voles; plants in containers may be affected by vine weevil

May be affected by lily diseases, other fungal diseases, and virus diseases; for more advice, see lily diseases
