Product Description - Lily (Lilium) Rapid Red
Lily (Lilium) 'Rapid Red' is a vivid Asiatic hybrid lily known for its deep, warm red blooms with terracotta and coppery undertones that glow in the sun. The star-shaped flowers face upward and outward, creating a strong color accent in summer borders and group plantings. With its fast growth and dependable performance, it quickly fills a bed with rich color without requiring complicated care. In bouquets, the saturated red tone looks especially striking alongside crisp whites, pale yellows, and fresh green foliage.
The plants typically grow to 80–100 cm (32–40 inches) and produce large flowers about 15–20 cm across. 'Rapid Red' flowers in early summer (June–July) and forms many buds that open in succession for a longer display. Like most Asiatic lilies, it has little to no fragrance, which makes it a comfortable choice for patios and indoor arrangements. For best results, plant in a sunny spot (light partial shade is also suitable) in fertile, loose, well-drained soil, and avoid areas where water stands after rain.

How to Plant - Lily (Lilium) Rapid Red
Planting & Care Instructions
Lilies are elegant summer-flowering bulbs ideal for garden beds, borders, pots and cut flower arrangements. For the best flowering results, choose a suitable location and follow the recommended planting depth for high-quality bulbs.
- Planting time: Plant the bulbs in spring (March to May) or autumn (September to December). Flowering time generally occurs in summer, from June to July.
- Position & soil: Choose a sunny position or partial shade. Plant in rich, loose and well-drained soil. Avoid areas where water tends to collect.
- Planting depth & spacing: Place the bulbs with the pointed end facing upwards. For standard lily bulbs, size 14/16 cm (XL), plant approximately 12–15 cm deep and 20–30 cm apart.
- Watering: Water regularly during active growth and flowering, but avoid waterlogging. Ensure proper drainage to keep the bulbs healthy.
- Growing in containers: Use pots or balcony boxes with drainage holes and a rich, well-drained potting mix. Ensure containers are deep enough to accommodate root growth.
- After flowering: Remove faded flowers to prevent seed formation, but allow the stem and foliage to remain until they naturally turn yellow and die back. This allows the bulb to store energy for the next season.
- Returning each year: Lilies are winter-hardy perennials that naturally return and bloom year after year when left undisturbed in suitable growing conditions.
