Caring for Asiatic Lilies
Asiatic lilies are a wonderful choice because of their profound beauty, but did you know that Asiatic lilies bloom earlier than other lilies? Asiatic lilies will make their debut in early to midsummer, and their beautiful blooms last a long time.
Asiatic lilies grow best in well-drained soil that’s rich in organic matter. For those with heavy clay soil, blend organic matter or compost into the soil before planting your Asiatic lilies. If your Asiatic lilies are already established, improve the surrounding soil by blending in compost or other organic matter. The soil will drain better, and your Asiatic lilies will benefit from the rich nutrients and minerals.
Provide your Asiatic lilies with plenty of water. Asiatic lilies require approximately an inch of water per week, so if it hasn’t been raining, be sure to water your lilies on a regular basis. Avoid spraying the blooms and foliage of your Asiatic lilies. When leaves and flowers are splashed with groundwater, diseases can be inadvertently spread. A soaker hose is recommended for watering Asiatic lilies.
To maintain healthy roots, flowers, and foliage, feed your Asiatic lilies with a slow-release plant food. Asiatic lilies should be fed early in spring. Follow specific label instructions for feeding Asiatic lilies and you’ll have robust healthy lilies that will be showstoppers in your yard or garden.
