How to Grow and Care for Double-Petaled Perfume Lily Bulbs
Planting:
- Plant the bulbs in the spring, about 6 inches deep and 6–8 inches apart, in well-draining, fertile soil.
- Choose a sunny location, as lilies prefer full sun but can tolerate some partial shade.
- Ensure that the pointed end of the bulb faces upwards when planting to allow for proper growth.
Growth Conditions:
- Sunlight: Double-Petaled Perfume Lilies thrive in full sun but can also do well with some afternoon shade. They need at least 6 hours of sunlight a day to produce abundant blooms.
- Soil: These lilies prefer rich, well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil. Improve soil quality by adding organic matter or compost before planting.
- Temperature: Lilies thrive in USDA zones 4–9, and they perform best in moderate temperatures.
Care:
- Water regularly but ensure the soil is well-drained, as lilies do not like to sit in soggy soil.
- Fertilize in the early spring as new growth appears and again after the blooming season to promote healthy growth and bulb production for next year.
- After blooming, remove spent flowers and stems, allowing the foliage to remain to help the bulb store energy for the next season.
- In colder climates, mulch the base of the plant in fall to protect the bulbs from frost.
