Planting

How to Grow

  1. Tuck lily bulbs 4-6 inches deep in well-draining soil in fall.
  2. Water thoroughly after planting to settle soil around the bulbs.
  3. Apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and regulate temperature.
  4. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer in early spring as shoots emerge.
  5. Stake tall stems if necessary to prevent toppling in wind.
  6. Divide clumps every 3-4 years in early spring or fall for healthy growth.

Pro Tip

Plant in a sunny spot with rich, well-draining soil for best bloom performance.
