Description
The Lilium ‘Baferrari’ is an Oriental hybrid lily with classic charm, prized for its large white flowers with a yellow centre, its powerful fragrance, and its vigour. It is a tall, summer-flowering perennial that brings light to borders, patios, or any part of the garden frequented in summer. It also makes a remarkable cut flower, perfect for rustic or contemporary cut flower arrangements, or for special occasions.
Botanically, Lilium ‘Baferrari’ belongs to the Liliaceae family, which includes many ornamental bulbous plants. It is a deciduous bulbous perennial: the foliage dies back in winter, the bulb remains dormant in the soil, and regrows in spring. It is a hybrid from the Oriental group (VIIa/b). Its distant ancestors are great Japanese lilies such as Lilium auratum and L. speciosum, known for their immense, highly fragrant flowers. Selected by the Dutch breeder M.A. van den Berg & Zn before 2010 and registered in the Netherlands in 2015, ‘Baferrari’ is widely cultivated by bulb growers. The plant reaches 90 cm to 1.20 m in height, on a single, straight stem covered in lanceolate, glossy, dark green leaves. The flowers, borne at the top of the stem, measure 15 to 18 cm in diameter. They are cup-shaped with 6 slightly undulate petals and face upwards or are held horizontally. Each tepal is creamy white, with a lemon-yellow to yellow-green stripe running its entire length, sometimes punctuated with small pale spots. The stamens bear brown-red anthers rich in pollen. Flowering occurs from July to August, depending on the region. Like all true lilies, it is very decorative, but all parts are toxic to cats, which is important to remember.
In the garden, ‘Baferrari’ is often used in small groups of three to five bulbs, planted in the middle of a perennial border. Its light-coloured flowers pair particularly well with Paniculate Phlox ‘Blue Paradise’, with its violet-blue panicles, or with the Agapanthus ‘Windsor Grey’, with its umbels of sparkling white. You can also plant it in front of a tall ornamental grass like Panicum virgatum ‘Cloud Nine’ or in front of a Hydrangea paniculata ‘Great Star’ (Le Vasterival) with its large white panicles. In a vase, its flower stems pair beautifully with fern foliage, a few stems of Arum Lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica), and Baby's Breath (Gypsophila).

Planting and care
The 'Baferrari' lily does not appreciate chalky, poorly drained and heavy soils. You should plant it in full sun, with its base in the shade, preferably in spring, burying the bulbs 15 cm deep in a pocket of soil mixed with leaf mould. Surround them with a pocket of sand which will protect them from rot as well as slug attacks, while allowing them to grow more easily. Mark the planting location, as the foliage only starts in April. When the stems reach 30 cm in height, stake them discreetly.
If red insects appear, treat without delay; these are lily beetles whose larvae can devour all the leaves. The most effective method is to catch them manually; be careful, they drop off as soon as they are touched, so place a box underneath.
Tip for planting lilies in compact soil: the scaly bulbs of large lilies fear clay soils which suffocate them and cause rot.
In Eastern Europe, the following technique is used to help these bulbs survive the winter. Plant them on 'benches' built above ground level. These benches consist of a first layer of gravel, on which tightly packed branches are placed. Then cover the whole with a thick layer of 20 to 30 cm of compost. Plant the bulbs in the compost, on which you can also let a few carpeting plants creep.
On the terrace, you can create sumptuous pot displays with lilies. Choose a container wide and deep enough (at least 16 cm in diameter for 1 bulb). Fill it with a mixture of leaf mould and sand. Plant the lilies in groups of 3 to 5 bulbs, 10-15 cm apart, then water thoroughly. Place the pots in a cool room, or outdoors once the frosts have passed. The ambient temperature should be around 12°C. When the shoots appear, place the pot in a conservatory or a very bright room, at a temperature of about 18°C. Apply liquid fertiliser twice a month until the flower buds appear.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
