Description
- Among the easiest to grow and the earliest to bloom, the Bloomsz Asiatic Lily Bulb Mixture will bring you the flawless beauty and brilliant colors of yellow, orange, pink, red, and white lilies. Numerous flowers grow on each tall, erect stem. These showy beauties are perfect when planted in clusters in borders and beds, and can last up to two weeks as cut flowers. Plant in round or oval-shapes in beds and borders.
- For cut-flower arrangements, cut when buds are just about to open and have some color at the tips. Before placing in vases, remove leaves from below the water line. Cut only 1/3 of the stem along with the flower, leaving the majority of the stem in place to provide the nutrients the bulb needs to bloom the next year. To prevent possible staining from pollen, clip stamens before placing flowers in vases.
- Pefer full sun to light shade. Grows 24-60
- Perennial in Zones 3-8; dig bulbs and store indoors in colder areas.
- Growing Instructions: Plant lily bulbs as soon as possible after they are received. If this is not possible, store them in a refrigerator and keep them moist. Lilies prefer full sun and well-drained soil. Dig a hole 6-8” deep and place the bulbs about 6” apart. Lilies look best when planted in clusters of 3-6 bulbs. Water in well when planting, then water when the soil becomes dry at the top. Remove spent flowers but do not remove the stalks or the leaves as they provide the necessary food for the bulbs to bloom the following year. Foliage and stems may be removed after they have turned yellow.
