It makes scents (pardon the pun). Spray the plants to mask the smell!

The RHS advice continued …
Plant basal-rooting lilies (or those whose habit is unknown) at a depth equal to the height of the bulb. Plant stem-rooting lilies at a depth roughly two-and-a-half times the height of the bulb.
The Wrigglers #gardening #cartoon looks at getting your lilies in the ground in preparation for next year’s burst of colour and flowers.
Lilies: growing in containers
Lilies grow well in containers, where they can be positioned for maximum effect in the garden. It’s a great way to grow these stunning plants, especially if you can’t grow them in your garden.
