Lilies

Hello everyone,

One of my favourite flower lily are loved by gardeners everywhere
These big bright flower if grown as boundary gives an elegance to the garden.
They are actually very easy to grow and you can have blooms all summer long,
There are different type of lilies which blooms at different time during the summer.
By planting a few bulbs of each kind you can have lilies in bloom literally all summer long.


 How to Grow Lily


  • Dig the container/pot where you plan to plant lilies to a depth of at least 4 inches in  12 inches pot.
  • Place the bulb and cover with soil,

 Like other bulbs, lilies like  little bone meal mix it while planting, but do not really require other fertilizers at planting time.When you see green shoots of leaves then sprinkle a complete organic fertilizer around the plant and water it.Spread an organic mulch around lilies to help keep the soil moist and cool, use vermi-compost, well-rotted manure, or a longer-lasting mulch, such as bark mulch, wood chips or cocoa shells.Sun light is very essential for blooms so keep in mind your pot should be kept in sunlight during blooming season.

During the flowering season, remove spent blooms.It multiplies in abundance.Every time you have to be careful and take care that in your pot there are not much of bulbs because it will restrict the blooms.So after the blooms rearrange your pots and share the bulbs which will make other gardens look beautiful during blooms and feel the happiness .
