Keep your Easter Lily Blooming!




When your Easter Lily is finished blooming, don't throw it away! Plant it in your garden and enjoy its blooms for years to come! It's simple ...


  • Maintain plant indoors until the danger of frost has passed. Cut off Lily blooms as they expire.

  • Find a sunny site with well drained soil. If soil is dense, add amendments.

  • Plant at same depth as pot.

  • Add 2 inch layer of organic mulch around base of plant. Lilies love sun but still need cool soil.

  • Cut off any old flowers and allow stem and leaves to dry naturally.

  • Mulch over area when soil surface freezes to insulate plant during winter.

  • In spring, remove the mulch as the spring weather warms.

  • Fertilize when you see new growth.

  • Watch for your new Easter Lily blooms!
