Can’t Gild This - Asiatic Lily Mix
Additional Information
Herbaceous Perennial Plants
When you receive your order, open the bags and check the stock immediately. Roots and crowns should be firm and pliable. Surface mold is harmless and will not affect the plant’s future performance. Store plants in their packaging in a cool (35–40°) location until you are ready to plant. If it’s going to be awhile, you can pot up your perennials.
Do not plant bare-root perennial plant crowns directly outdoors before danger of frost has passed. Wet and/or cold conditions for an extended period may cause rotting.
Planting Bare-root Perennials
After danger of freezing has passed:
Dig a hole 2 or 3 times bigger than the plant stock.
Add a little compost if needed.
Fan or spread out the roots to encourage root development.
Fill hole with soil, pressing out air pockets as you go.
Keep the planting area free of weeds.
Mulch around the crown with straw or wood chips.
Avoid applying mulch directly on top of crowns as they could rot.
Mark the location with a plant label.
Check your plants daily in the first 2 weeks after planting!
If you cannot plant right away, you have two options:
Store bags of bare-root plants in a dark and cool (35–40Ëš) place.
Pot up plants in well-drained slightly moist potting mix. Avoid coiling the roots in the bottom of undersized containers. Set pots in a protected spot in part-shade until you’re ready to plant.
You must protect your herbaceous perennials from:
Freezing
Sun-shock in the first 2 weeks
Long periods of cold and wet conditions
Too much or too little water
Absentee gardening!
Asiatic and Oriental Lilies
Queens of the perennial border, fabulously showy and surprisingly easy to grow. Good as single specimens or in masses. Great cutflowers, with 3–5 flowers per stem.
Our lily mixes contain 5 varieties. If a variety we list in the description becomes unavailable, we’ll substitute a similarly wonderful variety.
Asiatic lilies tend to be slightly shorter than Oriental lilies, 24–36" tall on average. Flowers face upward and bloom mid-June to July. Not much fragrance.
Oriental lilies easily grow 30–48" tall by their second season. Blooms tend to face outward or slightly down and bloom in August. Very fragrant!
Light shade prolongs summer blooms and keeps the bulbs cool. Plant bulbs 6–8" deep, 6" apart, in rich, slightly acid, well-drained soil.
