The Cutting Garden

Can you raise lilies in the house?

13 years ago

I started several crates of lilies and put them near a sunny window in the upstairs of my house. I don't have a green house/hoop house yet, so I thought I would give this a try and see if I could get some lilies off in May. My home temperature is about 67 at night and 70 during the day. Do any of you think this will work to raise lilies in the house or am I making a big mistake?

My inclination is that would not be enough sunlight.
