Freckle Face Blackberry Lily Care

Freckle Face Blackberry Lily needs an average amount of water. You can plant in average to fertile soil, but the plants will grow taller in rich, moist soil. It can be grown in any typical range of soil pH as long as it is average to dry and drains well. We recommend adding mulch around the plant in the fall for extra protection in the winter and to add nutrients to the soil.

Fertilizing is not necessary, but you can apply a slow release fertilizer in the spring before the plants begin to bloom. You can also add compost to the soil instead of fertilizing.
