Care.

To water

When the lily bulbs are newly planted, it's important to water them thoroughly. This will help them establish strong roots. The sooner they develop strong roots, the better they'll withstand the cold. In spring, keep the soil moist, but not too wet. Water only when the soil feels dry. During flowering, the bulbs can also benefit from some watering.

Pruning

You don't actually need to prune this plant, but it's a good idea to remove the spent flowers. This will direct the energy to the remaining flowers and the still-open buds. Once the lily has finished blooming, cut off all the spent flowers and leave two-thirds of the stem. This will direct all the energy to the bulb.

Extra plant food

Lilies can benefit from some extra bulb food in the fall. This bulb food comes in the form of organic fertilizer. These contain the right amounts of nutrients to ensure good flowering and strong bulbs. Bulbs get their food primarily from the bulb itself, so frequent fertilizer application isn't necessary.

How do I plant the lily?

This summer-flowering bulb is planted in autumn or spring. The bulbs can be planted from September to December (provided there's no frost). In spring, the bulbs can be planted until April. Plant the lily bulbs with their noses facing upward, about twice as deep as the bulb is tall, and water immediately after planting. The bulbs are winter-hardy. During the first year, it's best to cover the planted bulbs with some old leaves or moss. The bulb is still vulnerable at first because it hasn't yet developed roots.
