Ifafa Lily Red Bulbs, also known as Cyrtanthus mackenii, bring a burst of vibrant colour and fragrance to your garden with their narrow, tubular, red flowers that bloom in graceful umbels. The sweetly scented flowers reach up to 5 cm in length and bloom generously from mid-year right through to early spring, making them an extended source of beauty and pollinator activity. Their slender, lance-shaped leaves add an elegant backdrop to the cheerful blooms. Perfect for rock gardens, borders, or container displays, these lilies thrive in well-drained soil and add a lively, exotic charm to both modern and cottage-style gardens. The bulbs prefer to be planted with their necks just above the soil surface, allowing easy growth and a natural look.
Planting instructions
Plant bulbs in well-drained soil with the neck of each bulb slightly exposed above the soil line. Choose a sunny or lightly shaded location.
Growing Requirements
Pests
Generally pest-resistant, though occasional snails and aphids may appear. Ensure good drainage to avoid bulb rot.
soil
Prefers sandy or loamy, well-drained soil enriched with compost or organic matter for healthy blooming.
spot
Choose a bright, sunny spot or partial shade. Ideal for borders, containers, or rock gardens where drainage is excellent.
temperature
Thrives in temperatures ranging from 15–25°C. Protect from frost or bring containers indoors during cold snaps.
watering
Water regularly but allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, especially in cooler months.
how to harvest
Cut flowers in the morning just as the blooms open, using a clean, sharp tool. Place immediately in cool water and change water every two days.
To keep them fresh longer, avoid placing them near ripening fruit and keep arrangements in a cool, shaded area indoors. Pair beautifully with soft white blooms or other pastel-toned flowers for a striking contrast.
