Author Garden: Need Lily Info catlover The Cheetah! Member # 654 posted                       Just received a Gilbert H. Wild and son catalog in the mail. Has anyone ordered from this company before? Last year I missed out! I need to know all info. about growing lilies....soil, water, light conditions, fertilizer, etc. I spotted Lilyfreaks webshots and they are sooo pretty! I would like to start with Oriental, Asiatic, and Day Lilies!!!! Any do's and don'ts welcome!!! * * * * Plants: 7129 | From: California | Registered: Mar 2003  |  Seeded: 68.66.244.5 Bess of the Piedmont Super Gardener Member # 574 posted                       I love lilies, especially the hardy day lilies. The only advice I have about them is to keep them in a bed of their own, as they can really run rampant. Here's a nice website to visit: http://www.lilies.org/ I have grown oriental lilies, but my yard is generally too damp for them to live very long, but oohhhh, they are lovely. * * * * Plants: 688 | From: Northern Virginia, U.S.A. | Registered: Mar 2003  |  Seeded: 67.208.135.166 alankhart Super Gardener Member # 7 posted                       Lilies are one of my favorite flowers...I grow all 3 of the ones you mentioned. For best results, grow then in a sunny to partly sunny location that stays dry in the winter. I grow them all throughout my garden areas...they do great intermixed with other perennials. Asiatic lilies usually bloom earlier than oriental ones. There are different daylilies that bloom in spring, summer and fall so you can have some blooming all the time, and some will rebloom. * * * * Plants: 699 | From: Knoxville, TN | Registered: Aug 2002  |  Seeded: 64.136.27.226 Bess of the Piedmont Super Gardener Member # 574 posted                       Hey Alan- Are there types of daylilies that are less rampant than others. The tawnies, of course, run everywhere but are charming. My tall lemon daylilies and dark reds are not nearly so invasive. * * * * Plants: 688 | From: Northern Virginia, U.S.A. | Registered: Mar 2003  |  Seeded: 67.201.226.195 catlover The Cheetah! Member # 654 posted                       Ohhhhh so growing them next to a winding walkway with grass on the otherside and watering 2-3 times a week for 30 min. with a sprinkler system is not wise!!! Hmmmmm. Well darn that changes my location!!!! Will have to totally wipe the slate and rethink this! * * * * Plants: 7129 | From: California | Registered: Mar 2003  |  Seeded: 68.66.244.5 floweraddict Super Gardener Member # 447 posted                       Karen, i think u are worrying too much about dampness.... We had one of the wettest seasons this past year and it didn't harm my lilies at all... Matter of fact, they were absolutely fabulous! * * * * Bob Plants: 640 | From: in my garden | Registered: Jan 2003  |  Seeded: 64.12.96.70
