Kris’s blog: award-winning tree lilies?
I’ve just taken delivery of some tree lily bulbs from T&M. 
The company is running a competition to see which member of the media can grow the best plants this season. The winner will get to attend a huge trade show in Germany next year.
I’ve got high hopes of winning the title in the name of your favourite gardening mag, but I need your help…. while I’ve grown plenty of lilies, I’ve never planted tree lilies. If you have any tips for success, post them here.
If I win I’ll let you in on my full grow diary at the end of the season so you can get the same winning results as I do!
