“Summer Holiday” is a variety of the commonly known, Peruvian Lily, and grown for its beautiful flowers and lovely foliage. The large and showy blooms in spring and summer are brick-orange with a yellow centre, and are complemented with lush, dark green foliage. It typically grows to 70 cm tall and 60 cm wide, though once established, tubers will enable the plant to spread further. The tubers also enable this herbaceous perennial to survive winters and regenerate in spring. Best results with this variety are achieved when it is planted in full sun on a well-drained soil that does not dry out. Peruvian Lilies are great for adding vibrant colour and fragrance to the garden. They will give the best displays when mass planted but are also well suited to container growing. They are also commonly planted around outdoor living areas, included in borders and mixed plantings, or used in cottage gardens. The flowers are often used in floral arrangements and may last two weeks in a vase.
