Asiatic lily question
Comments (3)Thank you both I can definitely dig deeper than 8 inches and add something in the bottom. That's how I plant my azaleas. What should I work in? Do they like pine bark or maybe cotton bur compost? Maybe some pecan leaves? All of these I have on hand. I assume that peat would hold too much water...have sphagnum peat moss too. thanks again eagerly awaiting the new arrivals cynthia...See MoreAsiatic Lily Questions
Comments (2)A wonderful way to increase your plants but you need a little patience. Liliums are not a bulb that truly "sleeps" - it should not be let to dry out, so if you need to move them, they need to be re-potted. The small plantlets will go on to form bulbils and in time become big enough to bloom - just give them some TLC and fertilizer during the growing period...See MoreRita, an asiatic lily question
Comments (8)I really have to confess. I have bought most of my bulbs at VB wholesale. The reason I am reluctant to mention them is that some people have have negative experiences in that the bulbs were dryed out or rotted. Never happened to me but I have had the other problem they are known for, which is bulbs blooming that were not what they supposed to be. This spring I ordered Tinos bulbs from them that turned out to be Orange Electric when they bloomed. Turned out well, because those looked even better were I planted them than what I had picked out would have been. But my red tango lillies I ordered were melon colored tango lillies, which I already had and didn't need more of. The Trumpet lillies were almost all white ones, no colors and the hybreds that were supposed to be all these interesting patterens and colors were all white. Those are really pretty but too much white, I wanted some color. But I had bought some oriental mix lilies the year before that I planted en mass in an area in the front yard and its just stunning. I also have an area of mixed colors tango lillies I got from them, again stunning. I like to plant in a large display by digging a trench and planing bulbs and I can't do that by buying bulbs at the other places I listed. But since I did start to add all sorts of trumpets and trumpet hybrids this year, I only bought 3-5 bulbs of each kind and planted them in varius places around the garden. Seems to have worked out ok. Here is a link that might be useful: VB Bulbs...See MoreAsiatic lily questions
Comments (2)Are you sure you didn't plant multiple bulbs there? True lilies don't rebloom and they don't change color. There must be something else going on. A picture would be helpful....See MoreSkybird - z5, Denver, Colorado
