How to Grow and Care for Double-Petaled Lily Bulbs

1. Planting:
   • Plant lily bulbs in the spring after the last frost has passed in well-draining, fertile soil.
   • Choose a sunny location, as lilies thrive with at least 6 hours of sunlight per day.
   • Plant bulbs 4-6 inches deep, with the pointed end facing up, and space them 8-12 inches apart to allow for proper growth and airflow.
2. Watering:
   • Water the bulbs thoroughly after planting, and keep the soil moist but not soggy during the growing season.
   • Avoid watering directly on the bulb to prevent rot—water at the base of the plant. Once established, lilies are fairly drought-tolerant but will bloom better with consistent moisture.
3. Fertilizing:
   • Apply a slow-release, balanced fertilizer in early spring to encourage strong root and bloom development.
   • Fertilize again after the first flush of flowers to promote continued blooming.
4. Care:
   • Remove spent flowers by deadheading to encourage more blooms and keep the plant tidy.
   • After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally as it helps to nourish the bulb for the next season.
   • In colder climates, mulch around the base of the bulbs to protect them from freezing temperatures in winter.
