Tips and Growing Instructions
Visit our How-To Cultivation Library for more growing tips.
Trumpet lilies are known for their huge, trumpet-shaped blossoms and their impressive height. Planting trumpet lily bulbs is very similar to planting most lily varieties. You can plant the bulbs in either the fall or the spring in neutral soil.
Lily “bulbs” are actually tubers composed of fleshy scales and lack a protective covering. Unlike true bulb flowers, they never go completely dormant and should be handled carefully since they loose moisture very quickly. Essentially, you can plant your new lilies anytime after the ground freezes in Spring.
Lilies are incredibly easy to grow and few garden pests trouble them. The most natural location for lilies is on sloping ground with excellent drainage. Lilies prefer to have their blooms in the sun and their roots in the shade. Try planting them among annuals or perennials that will keep their roots cool.
The general rule of thumb for planting spring bulbs is to plant two to three times as deep as the bulb is tall. This means that some of our larger Bulb-Zilla lily bulbs will need to be planted 6-8 inches deeps. Plant with the roots downward and the scales upward. After planting, water well two or three times. Lilies are most effective when planted in groups of three or more. Space them about a foot apart – they will spread and fill this space in no time!
Always allow the leaves on the stalk to turn yellow and fall off as part of the lily’s natural growth process. This ensures that the bulbous underground part of the plant has gotten enough nourishment and will mean greater growth next year. Each year watch their beauty increase as they multiply!

Shipping
Sorry, we do not ship outside the U.S. or to Hawaii due to agricultural restrictions.
We guarantee safe arrival of healthy bulbs, that varieties will be true-to-name, and will grow if planted as instructed, subject to the limitations described in our Shipping and Returns Policy.
We begin shipping our bulbs in mid-February through Spring. Despite what you may have heard, Spring planting of bulbs is not a bad thing, and in fact, there are many advantages to planting in Spring. Visit our Spring Planting page to learn more. Upon arriving, your bulbs and most of your perennials may show signs of growth such as green leaves and sprouts - this is okay and transportation during this time should not harm the plants.
All bulbs and perennials should be planted in your garden as soon as possible to ensure the best success. If you must delay planting, open the bags to permit air circulation and place them out of direct sunlight in a cool, well-ventilated room. Do not place the bulbs where they can freeze. If you have the space, storing the bulbs in the refrigerator is another excellent way to “hold them” prior to planting. If you choose this method of storing your bulbs, be sure not to store fruit with them, as this is detrimental to bulbs.
Plant outdoors when the ground is no longer frozen and the conditions have improved for your zone.

a beautiful Advent book
Format: Hardcover
This book has truly been my companion during the advent season. It has resided next to my couch, in my kitchen, by my bed, and at my crafting table. It is beautifully written and filled with ideas that will inspire rather than overwhelm, and a memoir that will bring you to tears. Lovely

Fantastic and memorable Advent companion book & cookbook
Format: Hardcover
I love this book so much! (I've now bought 3 more copies for friends and family. It's that good!) It has bite-sized little readings for each of the four weeks of Advent, then it has a bunch more content for Christmastide. It has beautiful, hand-drawn recipe pictures and quote illustrations throughout along with many excellent recipes, Advent reading lists, music recommendations, and craft ideas. I'm not a crafty person, but it did help me with ideas for decorating my Advent wreath. Additionally, I've made multiple recipes from it, and we loved them all! The baked eggs and sweet/spicy bacon and gingersnaps are fantastic. I have more recipes planned in the weeks to come. The ideas of a Christmas simmer pot for using up older fruit and cinnamon sticks is great! What I love most is the festive yet accessible and contemplative, friendly nature of the author's writings. This is a lovely gift for yourself or for others. You won't want to do ALL of the ideas in any one year, but you'll return to it year after year for new ideas and for the ones you loved from last year!

Lovely Book!
Format: Hardcover
Written as a companion to Advent and Christmastide, I could not wait until then to start reading this book. Lanier Ivester's writing is compelling and thought-provoking. Jennifer Trafton's art throughout the book is rich and beautiful. The writing and art accompanied by recipes, menus, devotional suggestions, music recommendations, and craft ideas make this a book I will be pulling out year after year. "Look now, for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing. O rest beside the weary road and hear the angels sing."
