Why You’ll Love It
‘Child in Time’ offers a softer, more refined lily display with enough depth of colour to still stand out. The pink petals, darker central tones and delicate freckles give it a lovely garden presence, especially when planted in groups.
It is also suitable for cut flowers, making it a beautiful choice for fresh indoor arrangements.
Planting & Care Tips
Plant bulbs around 10–15 cm deep and 20–30 cm apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Choose a position in full sun to part shade and water in well after planting.
Keep the soil lightly moist while the plant is actively growing, but avoid waterlogged conditions. Mulch lightly to help retain moisture and protect new shoots from snails and slugs.
Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the bulb can store energy for the following season.
