LILY - PLANTING
Lily bulbs are planted in the late fall in a well-drained, high organic
matter soil. The top of the bulbs are planted six to eight inches beneath
the surface. Space bulbs six to eight inches apart.
Bulbs should be fertilized with one tablespoon of a 10-10-10 or 12-12-12
fertilizer per bulb. Water thoroughly and mulch for the winter.
Lilies should be planted in full sun to maximize blooming.
LILY - STAKING
Lilies may require staking to prevent plants from falling when flowers
open.
Stake lilies carefully to avoid damaging the bulb directly beneath the
plant. Use a strong bamboo or plastic stake. Tie the lily using old nylon
hose at two locations on the plant.
