With the Met Office predicting that the UK is twice as likely as usual to see sunny days this year, many Brits will likely have big plans to invite friends and family around for BBQs and garden parties.
But before you invite anyone over, you want to make sure your garden is looking it's best.
Lidl's Oriental Lilly is the perfect budget buy to give your garden a splash of colour at a purse friendly price.
The £8.99 plant is landing in stores this Sunday, June 22, so gardening fans better set their alarms to be in with the chance of snapping up the budget bloom.
The stunning plant will have huge and "dramatic" blooms all summer long, and the should last until the autumn.
Oriental Lily's also have a strong scent, that will carry throughout your garden.
Plus, the flowers are known for their quick growth, so if you place them next to your garden fence or balcony, they will quickly grow tall and add privacy to your outside space.
How To Care For Your Lily
Oriental Lilies need around 6-8 hours of sunlight daily, so make sure to plant them in a sunny spot in your garden.
Place them in well-draining soil and water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
Make sure to regularly deadhead flowers and remove pollen to prevent staining.

After the plant has finished flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally before cutting in down in the autumn.
Lidl is also launching a £4.99 lavender plant, that will bloom even during a drought.
The German discounter's French Lavender plant, is set to arrive in stores on Thursday, June 19.
The budget bloom is perfect for attracting bees and butterflies to your garden, and is able to handle the extreme heat.
The 5 best flowers to help bees to thrive
Nature experts at Faith In Nature have shared the 5 best flowers Brits can plant in their gardens to help bees thrive.
Rebecca Miller, Fabulous' Associate Editor and keen gardener explains why "bees are brilliant".
"They are vital. They pollinate our food and play a crucial role in our ecosystem. But climate change, the increasing use of pesticides and loss of habitat means bees are endangered. No matter how big your garden or outside space is, you can plant a flower or two to help bees."
Lavender
Lavender can thrive in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. It's fragrant and flowers all-summer-long meaning it's a big hit with bees - especially bumble bees.
Sunflowers
This cheery flower giant are bee-magnets. And if you look closely at a sunflower head, the big 'flowers' are actually a cluster of small flowers, called an inflorescence which attract pollinators.
Ideally, grow sunflowers in groups to provide nectar and pollen for as many bees as possible. At the end of summer, collect the dried seeds from the sunflower heads to feed the birds or plant next year.
Heather
These abundant, bell-shaped blooms are brimming with nectar and pollen – which is good news for bees.
Cornflowers
A vivid blue wildflower, cornflowers are often planted alongside other meadow blooms, like ox-eye daisies and poppies.
They grow on tall stems and are packed with nectar, making them particularly attractive to bees. Cornflowers bloom for a long time and are simple to grow, so they're perfect for first-time gardeners and experienced alike.
Crocuses (and snowdrops)
Later this summer, when you're starting to plan for your Spring displays, consider crocuses and snowdrops.
They provide bees, such as the queen buff-tailed bumblebee and male hairy-footed flower bees, with vital early pollen as they emerge from their winter hibernation.
According to Hedge Express, lavender plants are able to develop deep root systems which allows them to access water from deeper soil levels.
This means that they are able to access water that other plants can't, making them better able to withstand drought than other species.
Lavender plants are also able to store water in their stems and leaves, and their leaves are covered in fine hairs, that help to reduce moisture loss.
Plus, the purple flower is tolerant to dry soil and is able to absorb water even in sandy soil.
Other examples of flowers that bloom even during droughts are geraniums, daisies and coneflowers.
