Growing Instructions for Zone 3b

Lilies are hardy bulbs that perform very well in colder climates and can remain in the ground over winter in Zone 3b with proper planting.

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

Location
Choose a sunny to partially shaded location with well-drained soil. Lilies prefer their tops in full sun while the roots remain cool, which can be helped by surrounding plants or mulch.

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 room for mature plants and proper airflow.

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

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

Mulching
Apply a layer of mulch around the 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 to store energy for next season.
• Apply mulch in late fall for additional winter protection if desired.

With proper care, Novelty Kaveri Lilies will return year after year with brilliant orange blooms that add bold color, height, and elegance to summer gardens.
