Member's Mark Lily Oriental Star Gazer Bulbs

Member's Mark™ Lily Oriental Star Gazer is great for cut flower arrangements and bouquets and attracts hummingbirds to your garden. Lilies are among the most stately of all bulbous plants. They are winter hardy in most areas and will return and bloom for many years. Lilies are ideal for planting under trees and among shrubs. The ideal soil is porous and drains well, yet still holds enough water for the roots. If your soil is heavy clay and drains slowly, or very sandy and does not hold water, add organic soil amendments (peat moss or ground bark). Spread a 3-4" layer of soil amendment, add fertilizer and incorporate together into the soil to a depth of 10". 

Dig a hole. Place bulb(s) in hole at depth and spacing noted. Cover with soil. When planting a large quantity of bulbs in one bed, excavate the entire area to the recommended depth, work fertilizer into the bottom of the trench, place bulbs then cover bulbs all at once. Water thoroughly at planting. While actively growing, water frequently amd thoroughly so that water will reach the roots. Mulch to keep the soil cool and to prevent the soil from drying out. Apply fertilizer before and after flowering.
