Lily planting time and month

When to plant lilies in spring

Lilies are planted in spring, from March to April, when the climatic conditions are suitable for their growth habits. There is also sufficient sunlight in spring, but the light is soft and will not burn the leaves.

When to plant lilies in summer

In summer, you can choose to plant in late June. Lilies need more light, but you should pay attention to the light time and intensity. The strong sunlight in summer should be avoided from direct exposure to lilies, otherwise it will burn the leaves and affect the appearance.

When to plant lilies in autumn

Lilies can be planted in autumn from August to September when the temperature is relatively moderate. The leaves will not turn yellow due to high temperatures, nor will they be damaged by low temperatures. The rainfall also meets the growth needs of lilies.

When to plant lilies in winter

Lilies can be planted in early December. The winter is cold and they need more light, so when planting, pay attention to the spacing between the plants and avoid planting them too densely to affect the light.

Lily planting methods and steps

When planting lilies, you need to use loose, fertile, high, and well-drained sandy loam. Before planting, you need to loosen the soil and weed, and increase the ground temperature to promote early growth of the seedlings. During daily maintenance, you need sufficient sunlight and a large amount of water.
