Tips on how to make your Easter lilies keep on giving
; The Easter Lily, the traditional
time honored flower of Easter, is
highly regarded as a joyful symbol
of beauty, hope and life. The large,

flowers make

unopened buds of different sizes.
The ripe puffy buds will open up
within a few days, while the tighter
ones will bloom over the next several days.
As the flowers mature, remove
the yellow anthers before the pollen
starts to shed.
This gives longer flower life and
prevents the pollen from staining
the white flowers. When a mature
flower starts to wither after its
prime, cut it off to make the plant
more attractive while you still enjoy
the fresher, newly-opened blooms.
When selecting plants, be sure to
also check out the foliage: an abundance of dark, rich green foliage is

looks wilted. This could be a sign of
root rot.
In the home, Easter Lilies prefer
moderately cool temperatures.
Recommended daytime temperatures are 60 to 65 degrees F. with
slightly cooler night temperatures.
Avoid placing plants near drafts,
and avoid exposure to excess heat
or dry air from appliances, fireplaces or heating ducts.
The lily will thrive near a window
in bright, indirect natural daylight,
but avoid glaring, direct sunlight
Easter Lilies prefer moderately
moist, well-drained soil. Water the
plant thoroughly when the soil surface feels dry to a light touch, but
avoid over-watering.
If the pot is wrapped in decorative foil, be careful not to let the
plant sit in trapped, standing water.
For best results, remove the plant
from decorative pots or covers, take
it over the sink and water thoroughly until water seeps out of the pofs
drain holes to completely saturate
thesp^l.
Allow the plant to drain for a few
minutes and discard the excess
water before replacing it back into
its decorative pot cover.
After the last bloom has withered
and has been cut away, you can continue to grow your Easter Lilies, and
even plant them outside in your garden to enjoy them for years to come.
Once the lilies have finished flowering, place the potted plants in a
sunny location. Continue to water
thoroughly as needed, and add 1
teaspoon of slow-release fertilizer
every 6 weeks.
You can move the pots to a sunny
location outdoors after the danger
of frost has passed.
To plant your Easter Lilies outside, prepare a well-drained garden
bed in a sunny location with rich,
organic matter.
Use a well-drained planting mix,
or a mix of 1 part soil, 1 part peat
moss and 1 part perlite. Good
drainage is the key for success with
lilies. To ensure adequate drainage,
raise the garden bed by adding good
soil to the top of the bed, thus
obtaining a deeper topsoil and a
rise to the planting area.
Plant the Easter Lily bulbs 3 inches below ground level, and mound
up an additional 3 inches of topsoil
over the bulb. Plant bulbs at least 12
to 18 inches apart in a hole sufficiently deep so that the bulbs can
be placed in it with the roots spread
out and down, as they naturally
grow. Spread the roots and wdrk the
prepared soil in around the bulbs
and the roots, leaving no air pockets. Water in immediately and thoroughly after planting. Try not to
allow the sou to heave or shift after
planting.
As the original plants begin to die
back, cut the stems back to the soil
surface. New growth will soon
Hints from Hetoise
emerge The Easter Lilies, which
were forced to bloom under controlled greenhouse conditions in
March, bloom naturally in the sum
mer. You may be rewarded with a
second bloom later this summer, but
most likely you will have to wait
until next June or July to see your
Easter Lilies bloom again.
Another planting tip to consider
is that lilies like their roots in shade
and their heads in the sun.
Mulching helps conserve moisture
in between waterings, keeps the soil
cool and loose, and provides a fluffy,
nutritious medium for the stem
roots. Or, a more attractive alternative would be to plant a "living
mulch," or a low ground cover Of
shallow-rooted, complementary
annuals or perennials. The stately
Easter Lilies rising above lacy violas or primulas is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also sound gardening.
The Easter Lily bulbs are surprisingly hardy even in cold climates.
Just be sure to provide winter protection by mulching the ground with
a thick, generous layer of straw,
pine needles, leaves/ground corncob, pieces of boxes or bags.
Carefully remove the mulch in the
spring to allow new shoots to come
up. Your Easter Lilies will keep on
giving beauty, grace and fragrance
in the garden for years to come.

Very good hint! It will also

Dear Heloise:
Many product containers

liquid into a pump-type hand

two-thirds the amount of dishwashing liquid I purchase!
Choose an unbreakable plastic dispenser, one that wont tip
