FAQs

1. How do I plant Salmon Party Oriental Lily bulbs?

Plant 6–8 inches deep in loose, well-draining soil with the pointed end facing up. Space bulbs 9–12 inches apart. If planting in containers, use a deep pot with good drainage.

2. When is the best time to plant?

Plant in early spring after the last frost. Bulbs establish roots quickly and produce their stunning blooms in midsummer.

3. Can they grow in containers?

Yes! Salmon Party Lilies thrive in pots as long as the container is deep enough and has good drainage. They’re perfect for patios and small spaces.

4. How should I care for them after they bloom?

Remove faded flowers but keep the foliage intact until it naturally yellows. This allows the bulb to store energy for next season. Continue watering during active growth but avoid soggy soil.

5. Are they pollinator-friendly?

Definitely. The large, fragrant flowers attract bees and butterflies, making them a wonderful choice for pollinator-friendly gardens.
