Planting Lily Seeds
When to Plant Lily Seeds
Spring: Plant lily seeds when the soil is workable but not overly wet.
Fall: Plant seeds about a month before the first hard frost while the soil is still manageable.

How to Plant Lily Seeds
Grouping: For a lush, beautiful display, plant lilies in groups of three to five bulbs, spacing each seeds about 12 inches apart.
Depth: Plant small seeds varieties 2-4 inches deep, and larger ones around 6 inches deep.
Spacing: Allow 3-4 feet between groups for ample growth.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist by watering deeply once a week. In hot months, check soil moisture regularly and water as needed to prevent it from drying out.

 How to Care for Lilies
Mulching: Cover the lily garden with mulch in fall and winter for insulation, removing it in spring as stalks begin to emerge.
Fertilizing: If soil improvement is needed, fertilize in early spring using a 5-10-10 blend to support robust growth.
Deadheading: Remove spent flowers promptly to help seeds store energy for the next season, but leave the leaves intact until they wither naturally to promote blooming next year.
Cutting Tips: When cutting lilies for arrangements, leave some foliage behind to nourish the seeds for future blooms.
Dividing: Every 3-4 years, dig up and divide lily seeds, replanting them to expand your lily garden or create new arrangements
