Monteneu Oriental

Description

While there are many ‘White Lilies’ out there in the markets these days. Let’s take a look at Monteneu. Its soft white petals evoke feeling of serenity, like a cloudless sky over the peaceful meadows here at Hartle-Gilman Gardens. The appearance I see reflect is like snow of pure clean sacred beauty. ‘Monteneu’ is a must for the arrangements that you have approaching for the ideal wedding bouquet or other arrangements that are created.  Perfect for capturing the reflection of the moon within the garden beds.

Huge flowers and abundant buds for long lasting bloom season.

Plant 5 inches deep and water in well.

 Oriental instructions that have worked for me in Minnesota 

Plant in a moist free-draining acidic soil enriched with organic matter for optimal growth. For container planting use a loam-based, and some sand.   Regular feedings and watering throughout the growing season will ensure vibrant blooms. After flowering, leave the stem intact until nice and dry, while slowly reducing the watering of your Oriental Lilies. Then when dry, clean the pot and move the container to a cool frost free spot. In boarders, lift clean and store for the winter in a cooler or suitable chilly spot. Replant the following spring during appropriate climates making sure that they are free from dangerous frosty days.

Plant 5-6 inches deep and water in well.    Zone 4-8  for Oriental Lilies. Warmer Climates will need to make an artificial cold climate for a winter dormancy
