- ✓ Growing instructions: plant lily bulbs as soon as possible after they are received, if this is not possible, store them in a refrigerator and keep them moist, lilies prefer full sun and well-drained soil, dig a hole 6 in. to 8 in. deep and place the bulbs about 6 in. apart, lilies look best when planted in clusters of 3 to 6 bulbs. Water in well when planting, then water when the soil becomes dry at the top, remove spent flowers but do not remove the stalks or the leaves as they provide the necessary food for the bulbs to bloom the following year, foliage and stems may be removed after they have turned yellow
- ✓ Carefully remove anthers before placing the flowers in vases to prevent pollen from dropping onto fabrics
- ✓ Cut only the length of the stem needed for the vase, leaving the rest to die off naturally and provide the nutrients the bulb requires to produce the following year's blooms
