I just bought a Lily and it did not give me any instructions on how to care for it. I have looked on the web for a site on how to care for them and have been unsuccssessful. If anyone knows anything on the care of Lilies please write back. thanks!!

"Lilium Grow in compost-rich, well-drained, neutral to acidic soil. Give morning or filtered sun or sun with the roots in shade."

"Bright light, with some shade, is best for garden performance. Like many lilies, this species should be transplanted in the fall after the top growth has died down. While tolerant of wetter soils, very soggy soil should be avoided. Sand is a good additive at rates up to 60% sand to 40% woodland or loamy soil. Leaf humus is also appreciated. The bulbs should be planted about 6-8 inches deep."

"Water well after transplanting and during the growing season if the soil gets very dry. Weak fertilizers, such as Miracle Gro can improve growth and flower production. Generally, a strength of 1/2 that recommended for house plants is sufficient, once or twice during the growing season. In very loose soil, it may be advantageous to stake the tall stalks, especially as flower buds form and the plants get more top heavy. Seed normally needs a warm, then cold period to germinate. The easiest way to plant seed is to sow it outdoors, immediately when the capsule opens and seed is released. Sow seed about 1/2 inch deep and expect germination the following year. Seed germination decreases if the seed gets very dry for long."

Happy Gardening!

Full sun. They like full sun. When I planted mine, I fertilized them, & they bloomed beautifully. Since they're tall, I put them in the back of my flower bed. I had Star Gazers. They don't like to be sopping wet; just water a few times weekly.
