Ensure it has plenty of drainage too. I have listed some tips for you below:<br \/>\nFind a location with full sun or partial shade with well-drained soil.<br \/>\nOriental Lilies prefer an Acidic\/Ericaceous Soil type. They do not tolerate Lime very well.<br \/>\nArrange the Lilies in an odd-number grouping.<br \/>\nIf planting in the garden, plant the bulbs about 5-8&#8243; apart. Space the groupings at least 3 feet apart.<br \/>\nIf planting in pots, plant 3 bulbs in a 10-14&#8243; &#8216;patio type&#8217; pot using good-quality, multi-purpose compost.<br \/>\nOriental Lilies tend to grow exceptionally well in pots and tubs.<br \/>\nPlant the bulbs with 4-6&#8243; of soil above them.<\/p>\n<p><em class=\"hubmaster_faq_editor\">The Hart Family<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes &#8211; Lilium Manifesto is an Oriental lily and therefore prefer an ericaceous soil&#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/planting-instructions-for-lilium-oriental-manifesto\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[33,99,106,301,101,302],"tags":[232],"class_list":["post-3131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-faq","category-how-to-plant-lilies","category-lilies","category-lillies","category-lily-care","category-summer-garden","tag-faq"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3131"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3131\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
