How to grow Hybrid Lily

Lilium

Lilies can be grown in containers as well as in the ground. The soil should be fertile, well-drained with 25 percent organic matter. Fertilize lilies in early spring and just before flowering. Lilies love a cooling layer of organic mulch over their root zones. Remove flowers after blooming to prevent seed production, however, allow foliage stalks to die in place.

Transplanting Hybrid Lily

Generally, bulbs are planted at a depth equal to 3 times the bulb’s size. Plant bulbs 6-9 inches apart in well-draining soil.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Hybrid Lily is a hardy plant.
