Plant care: Buy Lily Bulbs | Perfect Joy Dwarf Asiatic Lilies | Gold Medal winning Harts Nursery
- Lilies can tolerate very cold conditions but they do not like to get wet.
- If planting in borders in the garden, the soil must be well drained and, preferably, humus rich.
- If planting in pots, make sure lilies are kept moist but do not get waterlogged.
- Lilies prefer to be planted in a location with at least half a day’s full sunshine, if it’s a bit too shady they will lean their stems towards the sun.
- Lily bulbs do not like to be dried out so they must be kept in soil at all times.
- Try
to plant your lilies where they will dry out after rain to prevent
Botrytis, a fungus that spots the leaves. If you do see brown spots on
your leaves, spray with a fungicide recommended for roses.
If planting in pots, it may be an idea to tilt the pots on their side in the winter to prevent waterlog. - When the Lily has finished flowering, cut any seed heads back and allow the foliage to die back naturally. Do not be tempted to cut the stem back until stems becomes hollow and brown.
- After a few years of flowering, you may find the Oriental Trumpets Lily produces less blooms, it may be time to lift your bulbs and divide them by breaking off the bulblets. All the bulbs will then need replanting.
- To prevent Lily Beetles from damaging your lilies, we recommend using the Lily Beetle Prevention Spray. This Spray (Grazers G4) will also stimulate growth of your lilies.
- You can feed your lilies with a Tomato Feed to stimulate and strengthen your lilies when you start to see signs of growth. Make up your tomato feed with half the recommended dilution (written on the instructions on the bottle) and feed once every 3 weeks.
