Growing Instructions for Zone 3b
Oriental 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 helped by mulching or planting among low-growing companion plants.
Planting Depth
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 waterlogged.
Fertilizing
Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring when shoots emerge and again when buds begin to form.
Mulching
Apply mulch around plants to help retain moisture and protect bulbs during winter.
Winter Care in Zone 3b
With proper care, Oriental Casablanca Lilies will produce magnificent, fragrant white blooms that bring timeless elegance and perfume to summer gardens.
