is good drainage and several hours of sunlight each day. 
If you can plantona slight slope—that’s fine, but if not, 
all you have to do is mix some sand into the soil when 
planting. 
Just plant your Stern’s Lifetime Lilies 5-7 inches deep. 
After planting apply a good mulch of well-rotted cow 
manure, peat moss or compost. This keeps the soil cool 
and retains moisture. If possible feed your lilies with a 
complete liquid plant food such as Miracle-Gro two or 
three times during the growing season. 
Lilies use their stems and foliage to build for the fol- 
lowing year’s growth, so when cutting flowers remove 
as little of the foliage as possible.
