Planting and care
After a good rain, find a spot that is the first to dry out. Water trapped beneath the scales may rot the bulb, so a well-drained site is essential. Also, select a site that gets full sun.
For dependable blooms, lilies need six to eight hours of direct sunlight a day.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full sun to part shade | well-drained soil | Medium | 30° C | Apply any organic fertilizer |
