Description
The Lilium 'Crosscourt' 'Butterfly Luna' is a hybrid of longiflorum and Asian lilies that brightens floral compositions with its bright yellow colour and generous shape. This cultivar, of medium to large size, bears numerous floral buds, ensuring a long flowering period. Its vivid and luminous colour is ideal for enhancing bouquets. Without pollen and speckles, its double flower has a sleek and refined look.
The 'Butterfly Luna' Lily is a recent Dutch horticultural creation. It is a bulbous plant with deciduous vegetation from the lily family. This cultivar is part of a group of hybrids resulting from, among others, Asian species such as Lilium longiflorum and L. formosanum. These varieties are prized in floristry for their large, brightly coloured flowers that last several days in a vase. At full bloom, 'Butterfly Luna' will reach between 1 m and 1.30 m in height, and its vegetation will spread over time, with bulbs producing numerous bulblets through vegetative propagation. Each floral stem bears 7 to 9 double flowers measuring approximately 15 cm in diameter, facing upwards. Their colour is a bright and pure yellow. At the heart of each flower are yellow stamens with mahogany anthers that are devoid of pollen. The long, glossy leaves, dark green in colour, are narrow and lanceolate, with parallel veins running through them. The vegetation dries out in autumn, while the bulb goes into dormancy. The bulbs are reserve organs with fleshy, overlapping scales.
Hybrid longiflorum lilies such as 'Butterfly Luna' bloom after 10 or 11 weeks of cultivation, they can be "forced" by planting them early in the season in a veranda or a warm room. The soil they are planted in should remain moist throughout the growth and flowering period.
In a flowerbed or bouquet, you can pair 'Crosscourt' with the Shasta Daisy 'Wirral Supreme', the blue Delphinium 'Blauwal', and the decorative dahlia 'Babylon Bronze', for example. Winter protection, in the form of a thick mulch, is not unnecessary in very cold regions. Lilies appreciate having their feet in the shade, with neighbouring plants helping to prevent the stems from bending in the wind.

Planting and care
The Lilium 'Butterfly Luna' prefers soils that are moist and rich in humus, it does not appreciate very dry, poor, or poorly drained and very clayey soils. It is a variety that can withstand frosts of around -17°C. You will plant it in the sun, in spring or early autumn, burying the bulbs 15 cm deep (about two to three times the size of the bulb) in a pocket of soil mixed with leaf compost. Surround them with a pocket of sand to prevent rot and slug attacks, while allowing them to grow more easily. Mark the planting location, as the vegetation only starts in April.
Growing in a deep pot allows the plant to overwinter in an unheated, cool, but frost-free room. This method also allows for "forcing" the bulb, meaning advancing the vegetation recovery and flowering period. To do this, the pot will be stored in a very bright and slightly heated room before the beginning of spring.
When the stems reach 30 cm high, discreetly stake them. If red insects appear, treat them immediately; they are lily beetles whose larvae can devour all the leaves. The most effective method is to catch them by hand, but be careful, they drop as soon as they are touched, so put a box underneath. After flowering, it is useful to cut the faded flowers halfway to keep the bed beautiful during the summer.

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).

- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
