What do the numbers on lily bulb packaging mean: important information for any gardener
Lilies are beautiful plants that are loved by many gardeners. What makes them special among other plants is their inherent beauty and mind-blowing aroma.
If you are one of those people for whom the period of lily blossoming is a truly magical time, you will certainly find the information shared with us by the expert of the online publication “BelNovosti”, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh useful.
According to the expert, when choosing lilies, it is important to pay attention to the numbers that follow the name.
These numbers tell you how many lily bulbs are in the package you purchased.
In addition, here you can also find the designation of the lily caliber, which usually looks like this: 12/14, 14/16, 16/18 and even 18/20.
The larger the size of the bulb, the larger its caliber.
Bulbs of 14/16 size bloom in the first year and produce several luxurious, fragrant flowers.
Bulbs of size 16/18 and 18/20 are used for forcing and produce tall tree lilies with many flowers.
