This stately lily is a classic symbol of Easter. The white blooms are trumpet shaped and wonderfully fragrant. These usually last from 1-2 weeks in bloom. A cool environment (50-60 degrees F.) will help to extend the flowering period while the plant is indoors. Keep the soil moist; however, allow the soil to feel dry before watering thoroughly. Moderate temperatures are ideal, 65-70 degrees F. To enjoy your Easter lily in the garden, cut off stems and leaves when they are no longer green. In mid-spring, plant the bulbs outdoors in a sunny area with well-drained soil. Fertilize with a water-soluble plant food for flowering plants such as Master Nursery Bud and Bloom. |
