Oriental Lilies
Posted on June 5, 2020 8:00 AM by Gerry Trout
 
Jim and Roxanne's lilies are blooming.  So pretty!!!!  They have lots of different ones, and the perfect location for growing them:  morning sun, partial shade.  
 
Lilies need to be planted in the fall, and planted deep:  8-10 inches deep.  This gives these heavy heads stability.  They are very attractive to the deer, so Jim fences them when they start to come up, and sprays that stinky 'deer off' spray on the leaves until they start to bloom.  
 
If you're interested in growing lilies yourself, you can usually buy the bulbs in the fall.  Or go to Brent and Becky's in Gloucester, VA.   https://www.brentandbeckysbulbs.com/  You can see their catalog on line, or request a catalog and dream about what gorgeous bulbs you can grow in your garden.

Meanwhile, walk over to Jim and Roxanne's and see their beautiful lilies in bloom.  
 
HAPPY GARDENING!!!
