Whether as a houseplant, on the balcony or in the garden bed - lilies are truly intoxicating. Whether intensively scented, bicolored, tall or multi-flowered species, they all have similar location requirements.
Which location is ideal for lilies?
Lilies prefer a sunny to shady location with shade at the base for the root area. The ideal soil is well loosened, permeable, rich in nutrients and humus, slightly sandy and moist. Locations protected from wind and rain will preserve the flowers longer.
The sun in the field of vision and the shadow at the foot
All lilies love sunny to shady locations. If it is bright and warm, these plants usually bloom happily. Darker varieties should be planted in partial shade. The root area is grateful if it is in the shade. Ground cover and summer flowers can be valuable for planting lilies underneath.
The soil requirements are easy to meet. Ostensibly, it is important to lilies that they do not stand in waterlogged water. Otherwise, you want a floor with the following features:
- well relaxed
- permeable
- nutrient-rich
- humus-rich
- slightly sandy
- moist
