Find helpful answers about lily bulb planting depth, flowering seasons, and growing lilies in home gardens.
Most garden lily bulbs are planted approximately 4–6 inches deep, although the correct depth depends on the variety and bulb size. Stem-rooting lilies generally need deeper planting to allow roots to develop along the underground stem. Basal-rooting varieties may require shallower planting. Position the pointed growing tip upward and follow the specific planting instructions supplied with your bulbs.
Fall and spring are common planting seasons for garden lily bulbs. In regions with cold winters, many gardeners plant hardy lily bulbs in early fall so they can establish roots before winter. Spring planting is also suitable in many climates once the soil is workable. In warmer regions, planting schedules should be adjusted to local temperatures and the specific lily variety.
Many garden lilies are perennial plants that can return and flower in successive growing seasons when grown in suitable conditions. After flowering, remove faded blooms but leave the green foliage in place until it naturally turns yellow and dies back. This allows the bulb to replenish its stored energy. Good drainage, suitable growing conditions, and proper seasonal care help maintain healthy bulbs.
