| I'd like to find out how I can create a no-fail lily bed. All I end up with are pricey casualties, from bulb rot or heat stroke. This year I planted under a mesquite tree so they would get some protection from the killer noon-day sun, but still lost my stargazers for some reason. Anyone have a good "recipe" for soil, fertilizer, mulch or whatever I may do to get a good stand growing? |

| Try mixing a little cow manure into the bed. |

| I agree /with enriching and making soil more friable. I create raised beds with compost from our landfill and thats all i use. But I really really wonder about types of lilies. I know I have either modonna or easter lilies here but it's 90 degrees on at Gulf Shores which is about thirty milles due south with a heat index of 102 and 66% humidity =< 60 inches a year. These lillies are tough, have a tendency to wander. Know any local experienced gardeners with a favorite lily. STARGAZERS HAS ANYONE TRIED THEM IN COSTAL AL,MS, or LA????? |
