Michel's Hardy Garden Lilies 
What is a garden without a planting of Hardy Lilies? For herbaceous borders they are unexcelled. Planting them among perennials for 
sufficient shade is recommended. 
Planted from 6 to 10 inches deep, bulbs thrive when enveloped in sand. Manure should not come in direct contact with the bulb, but may 
be placed 4 to 6 inches underneath. Loose-petaled bulbs should be planted on their sides rather than upright. Leaf or litter protection during 
the winter is best.
