For example, plant a row of Easter lilies along the front of your house as long as they’ll get some sunshine throughout most of the day.
Clay Sand Peat Silt
Soil that doesn’t drain well will trap water near the lily’s roots which could cause them to rot. If your soil has poor drainage, mix in organic matter, such as compost, vermiculite, or perlite to amend it.
Consider testing several areas of your yard because the pH level can be different.
For example, if you have clay soil, break it up and spread compost, potting mix, and gypsum.
Consult local nurseries or the Old Farmer’s Almanac to find out the last frost date for your area.
Avoid cutting off the stem and leaves of the lily until fall.
Check the soil around the lily if your region is going through a dry period. Water the plant to keep the soil moist.
By this point, the plant will have stored enough energy to put on new growth in the spring.
Don’t remove the mulch until you start to see new growth in the spring.
Use a 5-10-10 fertilizer (5% nitrogen-10% phosphorus-10% potassium).
