How to Plant Lily Bulbs for the Best results
When is the best time to plant Lily bulbs?
When you are buying lilies the ideal time to plant is generally from late March or early April, once the temperatures begin to increase. Most lilies prefer a position with dappled shade, as the old adage of having cooler roots and sunny flowers is well suited to them. Planting among small shrubs or dwarf conifers is particularly effective for providing this protection. Good drainage is essential; like most bulbs, lilies prefer a free-draining loamy soil with a high humus content.
Why buying quality lily bulbs make all the difference
To achieve the finest results in the garden, choosing high quality is just as important as planting at the right time. When you buy lily bulbs from Bloms Bulbs, you are investing in carefully selected, top grade that are chosen for their strength, vitality, and flowering performance, giving you the very best start for a stunning display.
Tips for planting
How deep should you plant lily bulbs?
As a rule of thumb, plant your lily bulbs at a depth of three times the size of the bulb. However, most lilies (with exceptions like nepalense) are stem rooting and benefit significantly from deep planting. If planting in the border, loosen the soil to a depth of 30cm (12 inches) and work in plenty of leaf mould. If growing lillies in pots, ensure the container has sufficient depth to allow for a top dressing in the spring, which is essential to maintain vigorous growth.
