Hardy Garden Lilies 



The six Hardy Lilies listed make roots not only at the base of 

 the bulbs, but also along the stem, and for this reason they should 

 be planted among other plants or mulched with about 3 inches of 

 lawn clippings or Peat Moss during the Summer to protect the roots 

 from the rays of the sun.. Cover the bulbs about three times their 

 greatest diameter, placing a quantity of sand at the base of the bulb 

 to insure good drainage.
