Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Asiatic Lilies love the sun but do appreciate afternoon shade in the hottest climates. Plant in about any well-drained soil with moderate moisture and fertility. Deadhead after bloom but leave the foliage until frost so they can make food for the bulbs, then prune to the ground when they die back in late autumn.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate Moisture Needs
- Deadhead After Bloom & Prune Back Late Autumn
- Mulch Beds Well!
