HARDY LILIES 
Lilies are easy to grow if simple cultural directions are followed. Plant in groups of three or more in light shade 
and in rich, well-drained soil. Most varieties are planted 5 to 7 inches deep. However, generally they may be planted 
with the base of the bulb set 3 times the overall height of the bulb. One exception is the Madonna Lily. This bulb 
should never be covered deeper than 1 to 2 inches. 
Depth to plant indicated below.
