Which compost do I plant different lilies in?

I purchased some of your Lillie’s yesterday at the Malvern show. Bulbs. I cannot remember which were Ericasious. If I put all of them into Ericasious soil will this damage those that are not?

Hello there,

If they are Oriental lilies or even a crossbreed with an Oriental Lily then planting them in an Ericaceous soil is fine. If they are Asiatic Lilies (Or a mixture of both), then John Innes No.2 mixed with a good quality multi-purpose compost will be fine for all. Ensure they have good drainage.
