Feed and water Cardiocrinum plants regularly. In cold areas it is worth protecting the Giant Himalayan Lily from severe frosts. This plant will naturally die after flowering and can be cut back and removed. Take care to avoid damaging the offsets that it ???

Cardiocrinum giganteum plants enjoy a reliably moist, well drained soil that is rich in organic matter. It is well worth preparing the soil prior to planting by adding plenty of leaf mould or compost. The Giant Himalayan Lily dislikes hot, dry conditions. Choose a position in light or dappled shade, with shelter from strong winds.

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
