4. Caring for Your Lilies
How you care for your lilies depends on the type of environmental circumstances in your State. These flowers love drinking water, so make sure you keep them well hydrated throughout the season. In areas where rainfall is less than 1-inch per week, with a hot and dry climate – you’ll need to water freely every day.
We recommend that you spread plenty of mulch around the base of your lilies to keep them cool and prevent excessive moisture evaporation on warm days. Check your much at the end of every day. It should feel damp – but not soaked.
After planting, apply a liquid potassium fertilizer every 2-weeks until 6-weeks after flowering finishes. Cut back your lilies at the end of every season and cover with mulch to ensure regrowth the following season. Staking may be necessary for tall lilies, as the weight of the flowers may cause the plant to topple over and rip its roots.
