Bee’s Lemon Torch Lily Bulbs bring a striking blend of colour and structure to any garden. These perennial beauties produce tall flower spikes with bottle-brush-shaped blooms that transition from green at the base to vibrant yellow at the tips. The narrow, sword-like leaves form a dense clump, providing an elegant contrast to the dramatic flowers. Perfect for borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator-friendly spaces, these hardy plants attract bees and butterflies while adding a vertical accent to mixed flower beds. Their long-lasting blooms also make them an excellent choice for cut flower arrangements.
