When dug in the fall, allow the bulbs to air dry for one to two days and store them in a cool, dry place for planting next spring. There are many summer bulbs from which to chose. Lilies are a popular selection. They thrive in full sun to partial shade. It is important to provide adequate drainage and mulch these plants to keep their roots cool.
Lilies make great cut flowers and provide gorgeous color shows during most of the summer season.
