Growing Instructions for Zone 3b

Asiatic lilies are hardy bulbs that perform well in colder climates and can remain planted in the ground through winter in Zone 3b.

Planting Time
Plant bulbs in spring once the soil can be worked or in early fall before the ground freezes.

Location
Choose a location with full sun to partial sun and well-drained soil. Lilies prefer sunny tops with cooler roots, which can be achieved by mulching or planting among other low-growing plants.

Planting Depth

• Dig a hole about 6 inches deep.
• Place the bulb with the pointed end facing upward.
• Cover with soil and water thoroughly.

Spacing
Space bulbs 8–12 inches apart to allow proper airflow and room for mature growth.

Watering
Water regularly during the growing season to keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.

Fertilizing
Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring when shoots begin to emerge and again when buds start to form.

Mulching
Apply a layer of mulch around plants to help retain moisture and protect bulbs during winter.

Winter Care in Zone 3b

• Lilies are winter hardy and can remain in the ground.
• After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally so the bulb can store energy for the next season.
• Apply mulch in late fall for additional winter protection if desired.

With proper care, Asiatic Purple Dream Lilies will return year after year with bold, richly colored blooms that bring dramatic beauty and vibrant contrast to summer gardens.
