Growing Red County Asiatic Lilies
Plant bulbs 6 inches deep in fertile, well-drained soil in early spring or fall. Space 8-12 inches apart. Choose a sunny to partly shaded location. Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Mulch to conserve moisture and keep roots cool. Lily bulbs may be planted in either the spring or fall seasons when the soil is workable, but not muddy.
It is normal for lily bulbs to appear with small cuts, scars, dimples, or discoloration. This is due to the harvesting and cleaning processes. Good bulbs should feel firm, and can sometimes have bulblets or offshoots already forming. While some bulbs may appear “prettier” than others, their firmness is the best way to know that they are good and viable.
