Torch lilies, also known as rocket flowers, are very popular ornamental perennials because of their bright flower spikes. Not only are they easy to care for. Gardeners enjoy their flowers all summer long.
Flowering time from June to autumn
The first flowers of the torch lily appear in June. In a favorable location, the plant produces new flowers until September. Some varieties even bloom into October.
It is important to cut faded flowers immediately to stimulate the plant's willingness to bloom.
Only if you want to collect seeds for later sowing do the spent cobs have to remain on the plant.
