Scadoxus multifloris βOrange Wonderβ, the powderpuff Lily π₯ππ₯ππ₯π
I planted this bulb four weeks ago, within a few days a new shoot appeared and quickly with a little water, within three and a half weeks, this wondrous riot of orange and yellow petals, a powderpuff Lily blossomed π€
They are easy to grow, need very little water or care, just a bright, not too sunny windowsill, or can be grown outside in the summer. Keep to the shadier parts of the garden.
Great fun to grow, unusual and full of personality. Available for purchase now from Dutch nurseries, most UK stockists have sold out at the moment.
I planted this one in John Innis No 2 compost, make sure they do not sit in water. Happy planting! π₯ π
