Lily Bulbs
"If you have two loaves of bread, sell one and buy a lily” Chinese Proverb
The Lily means "forever in love" and make a lovely addition to any garden.
Lilies prefer a sunny location in northern zones, but will grow in partial shade with at least six hours of full sun. Hemerocallis prefer nutrient rich soil, and plants should be fertilized shortly after planting, in the early spring, and again in late summer. Lilies do well in well drained soil, and prefer a heavy watering once a week rather than frequent light watering. Lilies are prone to rotting if overwatered. In the fall, a layer of mulch on top of the plant will protect the root system, especially in colder northern climates.
