Planting Methodology

• Try to have the bulbs planted in the fall, a few weeks ahead of the first frost. This enables the bulbs to develop roots in time for winter.
• Select well-drained soil that ranges in pH from slightly acidic to neutral. For increased fertility, add organic matter to the soil, such as compost.
• Pick a spot that receives full to partial sunlight. Companion and other oriental lilies often like places with at least six hours of direct sunlight.
• With the pointed end facing up, plant the bulbs 6 to 8 inches deep. To allow for healthy growth, space them apart by at least 12 to 18 inches.
• To assist conserve moisture, discourage weed growth, and control soil temperature, cover the lilies with an organic mulch layer.
• When planting, work a balanced, slow-releasing fertilizer into the soil. Apply another application of fertilizer as new growth begins to appear in the early spring. Steer clear of high-nitrogen fertilizers as they may cause overgrowth of foliage.
