'Big is Better'. I still hear it often from our American customers. Not always agree but sometimes, if 'big' is also breathtakingly beautiful, then they are right. WOW, this really applies to the Baferrari lily. Her flowers are incredibly large and breathtakingly beautiful, actually somewhat reminiscent of the wildly popular Lilium auratum. She is a bit taller and her clear white colour lacks the graceful speckle of the Lilium auratum and the yellow star in her flower shines a bit brighter. Of course, the Lilium auratum has a name and fame but after I have become acquainted with the Baferrari, the choice for me will soon be difficult when the Lilium auratum is available again. It will probably end up like it always does when I am in doubt between one or the other: I will just plant both :-)
By the way, if you know where the name Bafferari comes from or what it refers to or what it means, I would love to hear from you. I always like to look up where strange names come from, I just think it is nice to know. But there is absolutely nothing to be found about Bafferari, so if you do know, I would love to hear from you.

Planting and caring for lily bulbs
Plant lily bulbs in autumn or spring in a sunny or lightly shaded position with fertile, well-drained soil. Place the bulbs with the pointed end facing upwards at a depth of approximately two to three times the height of the bulb. Depending on the variety, leave around 20 to 30 cm between the bulbs. For a natural effect, plant them in small groups.
Keep the soil evenly moist during the growing season, especially in the first year, but avoid leaving the bulbs in wet soil for prolonged periods. Allow the foliage to yellow naturally after flowering so the bulbs can store energy for the following year.
Read our complete guide to when and how to plant and care for lily bulbs.
