Planting & Care Instructions:

1. Seed Preparation & Sowing:

   • Cold Stratification: Lilium seeds often benefit from cold stratification to enhance germination. Place seeds in a plastic bag with a moist paper towel and refrigerate for 3-4 weeks before sowing to simulate winter conditions.
   • Sowing Indoors: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Use a well-draining seed-starting mix and lightly press the seeds into the soil. Do not cover the seeds, as they require light to germinate.
   • Temperature & Lighting: Keep the seeds in a warm area with temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Provide bright, indirect light to promote healthy growth. Germination typically takes 14-30 days.
   • Direct Sowing Outdoors: After the last frost date, you can sow seeds directly in the garden, ensuring the soil is well-drained and remains moist until germination.

2. Transplanting & Growth:

   • Transplanting: Once seedlings are large enough to handle, and the danger of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors or into containers. Make sure the soil is well-drained, and avoid planting too deeply.
   • Spacing: Space the plants 8-12 inches apart to allow them room to grow without overcrowding.
   • Sunlight: Fiore Lilium prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade. However, planting in full sun will encourage the best blooming.
   • Soil: These lilies thrive in fertile, well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Adding organic matter like compost can improve the soil's fertility and drainage.

3. Maintenance:

   • Watering: Keep the soil moist but not soggy. During the growing season, lilies require consistent moisture. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely.
   • Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring to support healthy growth and flowering. You can also feed the plants every 4-6 weeks with a liquid fertilizer during the growing season.
   • Pruning: Remove spent flowers to encourage more blooms and prevent the plant from expending energy on seed production.
   • Deadheading: Regularly remove faded blooms to maintain the plant's appearance and promote further flowering.

4. Winter Care:

   • Cold Climates: In colder climates, lilies can be grown as annuals, or you can dig up the bulbs in the fall and store them in a cool, dry place over the winter. Replant them in the spring when the danger of frost has passed.
   • Mild Climates: In milder zones, lilies can survive through the winter. Mulch around the base of the plant to protect it from extreme temperatures.
