Lycoris prefer neutral to acid, sandy soil. They are much favored if liberal amounts 
of leaf mould and peat are added to the soil and a little peat should be close to the 
bulbs when planted. They may be planted so that bulb is covered by 3” of soil. Plant 
as early as possible and one can begin watering in Aug. especially for L. aurea which is 
an early bloomer. When they become dormant in the spring, dry conditions are favorable.
