Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: Aim for a spot that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. While this Lily can tolerate partial shade, insufficient sun will cause fewer blooms and may lead to stems leaning as they stretch for light.
  • Soil: Lilies absolutely must have well-drained, loose soil, as the bulbs cannot handle "wet feet." If you have heavy clay, thoroughly amend the planting area with generous amounts of coarse grit, sand, or aged compost to ensure aeration and rapid drainage.

Watering Requirements

New bulbs need consistent moisture until their leaves fully emerge, promoting strong root development. Once the plant is established, it is relatively drought-tolerant, but for the best show, provide about one inch of water per week during the growing season. Inconsistent watering, particularly right before and during the blooming period, will cause unnecessary stress and result in significantly smaller or fewer flowers.

Pruning Tips

This Lily blooms on new wood, meaning the flower stalk emerges fresh from the bulb each spring. The only necessary summer pruning is deadheading; snip the spent flower head off just below the bloom, but leave the foliage intact. This technique redirects the plant's energy away from seed production and back into the bulb, allowing the leaves to recharge it fully before winter. Once the leaves naturally yellow and die back in the fall, you can cut the entire stem to the ground.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer, such as a 10-10-10 or 5-10-10 blend, in early spring right as the sprouts break ground. This provides the necessary fuel for the season's rapid growth and impressive bloom cycle. Be sure to avoid any high-nitrogen fertilizer applications late in the season (after mid-summer), as this encourages soft, vulnerable new growth that is highly susceptible to disease and winter damage.
