    Frequently Asked Questions

    Growing Lilium Must See lilies successfully requires a few key factors for optimal health and vibrant blooms. First, select a well-drained, fertile soil that is slightly acidic to neutral in pH, ensuring the bulbs have room to grow and establish strong root systems. Lilium Must See lilies thrive in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, so choose a planting location with at least six hours of sunlight per day for the best results. It's also crucial to plant the bulbs at a depth of around 6-8 inches, with the pointed end facing upward.

    Good drainage is essential as waterlogged soil can lead to bulb rot, so if your garden has heavy clay soil, amend it with organic matter to improve drainage. During the growing season, water regularly but ensure the soil isn’t constantly soggy. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture, prevents weeds, and keeps the roots cool. For consistent blooms, fertilize Lilium Must See with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring, and deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms throughout the growing season. Lastly, staking may be necessary as these lilies can grow tall and may require support to prevent breakage.

    The blooming period of Lilium Must See lilies typically spans from mid-summer to late summer, depending on the growing conditions and climate. Once the bulbs are planted, you can expect the flowers to begin blooming around 70 to 90 days after planting. The blooms of Lilium Must See are known for their spectacular display of large, trumpet-shaped flowers in vibrant colors, with each flower lasting around 2 weeks on average. However, the plant itself continues to grow and may bloom over an extended period, with individual flowers opening progressively.

    If you want to extend the blooming period, deadheading spent flowers will help encourage additional blooms throughout the growing season. Additionally, healthy plants that are well-maintained can sometimes produce a second wave of blooms. While the primary blooming period is in the summer, the beauty of the flowers and the foliage's green leaves will continue to add interest to your garden until the fall when the plant begins to die back in preparation for winter dormancy.

    Yes, Lilium Must See lilies can be left in the ground year-round, provided you live in a climate with mild winters. These lilies are hardy in USDA Zones 3-8, meaning they can tolerate cold temperatures and will naturally go dormant in the winter. However, there are a few key steps to ensure they survive and come back strong the following season.

    Before winter sets in, it’s a good idea to mulch around the base of the plants with a thick layer of organic mulch like straw, shredded leaves, or wood chips. This will help insulate the bulbs from extreme cold temperatures and protect them from freeze-thaw cycles. If you live in an area with particularly harsh winters (e.g., USDA Zone 3), you may want to dig up the bulbs and store them in a cool, dry place until spring. However, in most mild winter climates, Lilium Must See bulbs will remain in the ground year-round and will naturally sprout in the spring to bloom once again. Just ensure they are planted in well-draining soil to avoid bulb rot, and water them properly during the growing season.

    If you’ve forgotten to plant your Lilium Must See bulbs in the fall or early spring, don’t worry! You can still plant them, but you’ll need to take some precautions to ensure they grow successfully. If it’s already late in the season and the weather is warmer than ideal, you may need to plant them as soon as possible to give them enough time to establish their roots before the heat of summer sets in.

    The first step is to ensure the bulbs are still healthy. If the bulbs appear firm and free of rot, they can still be planted. If they’re soft or discolored, they may not grow. When planting late, choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. If the soil is too warm, try planting deeper than usual (around 8-10 inches deep) to help protect the bulbs from the heat.

    Water them well immediately after planting, and keep the soil consistently moist until the bulbs have a chance to root. You may want to mulch the area to keep the soil temperature steady and protect the roots from drying out. Although late-planted bulbs may have a slightly delayed blooming period, they can still grow and flower, but the blooms may appear later in the season, sometimes extending into late summer or fall. So, while it’s best to plant your bulbs at the ideal time, you can still achieve beautiful Lilium Must See blooms even if you plant them later.
