Growing Instructions for Zone 3b

Trumpet lilies are hardy bulbs that grow 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 low-growing companion plants.

Planting Depth

• Plant bulbs about 6–8 inches deep.
• Place the bulb with the pointed end facing upward.
• Cover with soil and water thoroughly.

Spacing
Space bulbs 10–12 inches apart to allow room for tall 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 appear 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

• Trumpet lilies are winter hardy and can remain planted in the ground.
• Allow foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the bulb stores energy for the following season.
• Apply mulch in late fall for additional winter protection if desired.

With proper care, Golden Splendour Lilies will produce tall stems topped with glowing golden blooms, adding dramatic height, fragrance, and brilliance to summer gardens.
