Orange lily; what should I do?

17 years ago

I'm starting a balcony garden, and last weekend I bought an orange lily plant. It took a few days before I potted it, and though the pot seemed deep enough, the lily stalks keep flopping to all sides. I've propped them up with rocks, but I was wondering if I should replant it deeper. Ideas?

How deep is it? Lillies are usually planted 6 inches down in the soil, you may have to stake it if it's being ornery for you.
