Gardening Tips : How to Take Care of a Lily

🌞 Lilies need to be in a warm spot, whether it's in the sun or part shade, for them to bloom for a longer period of time.

💐 Oriental Lilies are a great choice as they have a beautiful fragrance, come up every summer, and can grow up to four or five feet tall with multiple blooms.

💡 Leave the lily bulbs whole when planting as one small piece of bulb may take seven years to bloom, whereas larger bulbs will bloom in the first year.

🌱 Plant lilies about three inches deep, in groups of three or more, and in a social setting with other plants for better growth.

🌷 It's recommended to remove the pollen from the lilies as soon as they bloom to avoid it spreading everywhere, but they will still grow beautifully even if you don't.

🌸 Lilies can be planted at any time of the year and will bloom the following summer, although it may take some time for them to adjust to their new climate.

✂️ After the lily blooms are done, top them off by cutting the very top of the stem, which will promote more bulb growth and eventually result in a larger lily area.

🌿 Lilies are low-maintenance and only require watering in the summer and dry conditions in the winter. They can stay in the ground and benefit from the cold weather.
