Lilies for all situations.

See ONLINE STORE for current availability
Most lilies are sold Feb-April but some are available in the autumn. 


Cultural Instructions
Lilies require a fertile well-drained soil with an uninterrupted supply of moisture while they are growing. They should be planted 6"-8" deep. In heavy soils, sand must be added below the bulb to prevent waterlogging. Most make excellent subjects for pots. We recommend soaking the bulb for one hour in plain water before planting.
