Growing Guide
Planting
Lilium
Plant in spring after the last frost.
Keep bulbs cool until planting and be careful that they do not dry out.
Plant these bulbs about 15 cm (6 in) deep because they also grow roots from their stems and 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 in) apart.
These bulbs can be planted in full sun to partial shade but prefer “cold feet” (shaded root area, under plant or plant amidst low-growing perennials).
Water thoroughly after planting.
Growing
Lilium
Plant different lily species together for long- lasting colour and fragrance.
Grow them where there will be some shade during the hottest part of the day so that flowers will hold their colour.
These bulbs can be combined beautifully with all kinds of ferns; another natural spot for them is among shrubs.
Care
Lilium
Water regularly throughout the growing and flowering period.
Keep the plants healthy by removing dead flowers, leaves and stems.
These flowers attract hummingbirds and butterflies.
Winterizing
Lilium
At the end of the season, allow the foliage to turn yellow and die back. After a frost, clip back the stems near ground level and apply a mulch cover to ensure the bulbs make it through the winter months.
Hardy in USDA zones 4 to 9.
