It's never too late to start the annual bed or add flowering perennials to your landscape. Nurseries and garden centers have a large selection of blooming plants for spring and summer color.
Easter lilies are very easy to grow in the ground.
When the flowers from your potted plant have faded, choose an area in your landscape where they can rest all summer undisturbed. Easter lilies are forced to bloom at Easter time but when planted outdoors they will flower a little later. The tops will die and should be removed. The bulbs will stay dormant until late winter when green foliage begins to emerge. If you find poison ivy growing in your landscape, you should not try to weed it out by hand.
