There are no universal rules for growing all varieties of lilies, but there are several nuances that apply to many of them.

These rules will help you grow the most beautiful and vibrant lilies that will outshine even your neighbors' lilies.

6 nuances of caring for lilies

1. The most lush and bright lilies grow only in well-lit areas. In the shade, on the contrary, they are frail and thin, and the flowering is not so luxurious.

2. The southern or eastern wall of the house is the best place to plant lilies. It is important that there are no drafts.

3. Lilies love light and loose soil, fertilized with organic matter. In heavy clay soil, the plants will not delight with lush flowering.

4. Lilies like to have their upper parts warm, and the roots and bulbs should be protected from the scorching sun. Often gardeners grow low-growing ornamental plants or simply mulch the lilies.

5. They do not like constant transplants. The best option is once every 5 years. Therefore, it is better to immediately find a good place for lilies, and then not disturb them again.

6. During the budding period, regular watering is important. Lack of moisture at this time can lead to weak flowering.
