Planting and care

• Avoid keeping in the scorching sun
• After planting, water well for a few weeks until the roots are established
• Apply a balanced fertilizer in the spring or flowering season

Lycoris Radiata care

• Keep planting depth up to 3 to 4 inches
• Select a site that gets full sun
• For dependable blooms, lilies need six to eight hours of direct sunlight a day

• Dig a hole deep and wide enough to accommodate the roots
• Firm the soil around the crown, pressing down with both hands
• Plant in the early spring or in the early fall
• Add organic compost to the soil before planting
• Space the bulbs 10 to 18 inches apart and 1 inch deep
• Daylilies do very well when planted outdoors
• They are not fussy about soil, they can tolerate shade, and they are naturally resistant to insects
