Hi Jennifer,

Lilies are actually very tough plants considering how exotic they look. You wont need to start watering until June-July unless there is very little rainfall. When they are first planted you should water deeply a few times to develop a deep root system. Then they can pretty much fend for themselves. Full sun is best for reliable bloom and healthy plants. Enjoy!

Thank you very much Jen,

I have another lily question to ask you and that is today I went outside to water my polka asiatic lilies and marigolds to find out that a pesky rabbit ate the top of one of my lily plants off. I need to know will it regrow back or do I need to buy another polka lily plant.

The will not bloom this year but they will regrow next year. Try to sprinkle a bit of blood meal around them to keep the wildlife away. I have the same problem with squirrels beheading everything and there is enough rabbits in the neighbourhood this year. It is a never ending battle. No need to water except after planting (that is why I like to schedule my planting times before a rainy day). The occasional rain usually takes care of everythiung.
