Lilium bulbs will greatly appreciate the shelter of low-growing shrubs or other plants near their roots. In active growth, apply water freely and it is advised that every two weeks you apply a high potash liquid fertilizer. When planting, each bulb should be surrounded with a little bit of sharp sand both under and above the bulb to keep slugs away and to ward off excessive wetness. As most liliums are stem rooting, we strongly recommend you plant at 15cm deep. They give a much better display when planted in clumps of 3, 6 or 12 bulbs, 45cm apart. Planting time is December to April.
