Preparing Your Garden for Lilies

Before you plant your lily bulbs, it’s crucial to prepare the ground properly to ensure healthy growth and abundant blooms. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get your garden ready:

  1. Choose the Right Spot: Lilies thrive in well-drained soil with plenty of sunlight. Select a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day.
  2. Soil Preparation: Dig the soil to a depth of about 30 cm (12 inches) and remove any weeds or debris. Incorporate organic matter, such as compost or well-rotted manure, to improve soil fertility and drainage.
  3. Planting Depth: Plant the bulbs about 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) deep, with the pointed end facing upwards. Space them approximately 20-30 cm (8-12 inches) apart to allow for growth and air circulation.
  4. Watering: After planting, water the bulbs thoroughly to help them settle in. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged throughout the growing season.
