Lilium 'Amethyst Temple'

The trumpet lily (Lilium 'Amethyst Temple') is a showy and seasonally profuse beauty. When its trumpet-shaped, deep purple blossoms with yellow throats open, they add a stand-out splash of colour when planted in beds, groupings, or containers. These robust lilies grow best with occasional watering in full sun. They bloom from early summer to autumn, and their scented blooms will attract butterflies and bees. The trumpet lily is easy to grow, and makes a great addition to any garden.

watering

Water trumpet lilies (Lilium 'Amethyst Temple') deeply until the soil is thoroughly saturated. During the growing season, water every 7-10 days, depending on weather conditions. If the weather is especially hot and dry, you may need to water more often. During the fall and winter months, water when the top of the soil feels dry. Avoid getting the leaves and stems of the lilies wet when watering.

sunlight

Trumpet lily (Lilium 'Amethyst Temple') needs direct sun for at least half of the day. This plant prefers to be in full sun for up to 8 hours per day, and can tolerate up to 10 hours per day without any issues. Even though they can tolerate some shade, they will bloom more profusely if they get more sunlight. The best time of day to provide sunlight for trumpet lilies is during the morning hours from 8 am to 12 pm.

pruning

Trumpet lilies (Lilium 'Amethyst Temple') should be pruned annually in late winter or early spring, when the ground is no longer frozen. Start by removing all of the dead leaves and flower stems from the previous season. Then, in subsequent years, cut off any dead stems or foliage that may have emerged during the growth of the previous season. You may also want to lightly shape the plant for aesthetic reasons. To do this, simply remove any branches that are growing in the wrong direction, or cutting them back to maintain the overall shape of the plant. This will help to encourage fuller growth in the future. Finally, it can be beneficial to remove any weak or spindly branches, which will help to promote more vigorous and healthier growth.
