Lily General Information

Orientals are the most beautiful and fragrant of lilies. Blooming later than other lilies, the flower size is truly spectacular. Plant behind or amongst other perennials for a dramatic effect.

Lily Plant Care

Lilies like direct sunlight and well-drained soil. Plant 6" apart and 6" deep. Do not remove or cutback stalks until complete dieback has occurred in the fall, it could weaken the bulb.
