Growing Lilium Salmon Star Bulbs
Plant these bulbs in spring or fall in well-drained soil with good organic content. Dig holes 6 inches deep and space bulbs approximately 6 inches apart. Place the bulb with the pointed end up, then cover with soil and water thoroughly. Adding mulch around the base will help retain moisture and keep the roots cool. These lilies thrive in beds, borders, and containers and benefit from companion plantings that help shade their roots.
Climate and Soil Requirements
Best suited for USDA zones 3–9, it is cold hardy and performs well in various climates. It prefers well-draining soil enriched with compost or organic matter. Avoid heavy clay and waterlogged conditions to prevent bulb rot.
Sunlight and Watering
Plant in full sun to partial shade, ensuring at least 6 hours of direct light daily. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, but avoid overly saturated soil. Keeping the soil consistently moist supports optimal growth and bloom production.
Care and Maintenance
Remove faded flowers to encourage continuous blooming and prevent seed formation. Allow the foliage to die back naturally before removing, as this supports nutrient return to the bulb for next year's growth. Fertilize with a balanced formula in early spring and after flowering for best performance.

We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
