Planting

How to Grow

  1. Tuck bulbs 4-6 inches deep in well-draining soil in fall.
  2. Water thoroughly after planting to settle soil around roots.
  3. Mist seedlings lightly to maintain moist soil during early growth.
  4. Stake tall varieties to support their stems as they grow.
  5. Divide overcrowded clumps every 3-4 years in early spring.
  6. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.

Pro Tip

Common Questions

Tree Lily questions

What zones can Tree Lily grow in?

Tree Lily is hardy in USDA Zones 4–8. Inside that range it survives winter in the ground; outside it, grow it as an annual or a container plant you protect.

Is Tree Lily deer resistant?

Not reliably. Deer may browse Tree Lily, especially tender spring growth β€” plan on repellents or fencing where pressure is high.

When does Tree Lily bloom?

Tree Lily typically blooms in mid-summer through late summer. Exact timing shifts a week or two with your zone β€” Sow's bloom calendar maps it to your garden.

Does Tree Lily need full sun?

Tree Lily does best in full sun to part shade. In hot climates, afternoon shade keeps blooms fresher longer.
