Everyone loves lilies. With large, showy blooms, lilies add striking elegance to the yard and garden from early to midsummer. Grown from bulbs, lilies are perennial flowers that will return year after year and require minimal care, provided that you plant them in the right place. <br>WHAT ARE "TRUE LILIES" ?<br>True lilies grow from bulbs and are of the genus Lilium. <br>WHEN DO LILIES BLOOM? <br> Lilies tend to bloom from early summer to fall, depending on the type. By carefully blending early, mid-season, and late varieties into your garden, you will enjoy their magnificent blooms from spring through first frost. At home in both formal and naturalistic settings, most lilies also take readily to containers. Plus, they make great cut flowers!
Lilies make wonderful cut flowers. However, avoid cutting off more than a third of the stem, which can reduce the plant¡¯s vigor and longevity.
Gray mold is sometimes a problem, especially in a wet, cool spring or summer. Make sure lilies are not crowded and have plenty of air circulation.Keep lilies mulched so that their roots are cool.
Apply a high-potassium liquid fertilizer every 2 weeks from planting until 6 weeks after flowering.Apply a thin layer of compost each spring, followed by a 2-inch layer of mulch.
Select a site with soil that drains well. How can you tell? After a good rain, find a spot that is the first to dry out. Water trapped beneath the overlapping scales on the lily bulb may cause rot, so a well-drained site is essential.
Lilies need lots of sun. For dependable blooms, lilies need 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight a day. If it¡¯s too shady, the stems will attempt to lean towards the sun or get spindly and fall over.
