Southern Gardens & Greenhouse Cultivation

If winter low temperatures stay well above 40° F, dig and refrigerate lily bulbs for 8-10 weeks to provide an artificial winter. Lilies received from us in spring are pre-chilled, fall delivered varieties may require additional cold treatment if received before Mid November. Greenhouse culture: Pre-chill bulbs and pot into 8 inch deep, well-drained containers. Keep greenhouse at 65°-70° F. during the day, and 40°-50° F. at night. Bloom is about 30 days after buds first appear, flowers will open approximately one week after the buds "color-up.” Plant outside after foliage dies back for winter
