With their funnel-shaped, exotic flowers, lilies add an elegant accent to the garden.
You should plant the bulbs from February.
Lilies are not only extremely popular as cut flowers, they also beautify your home garden bed.
In contrast to other summer bloomers, lily bulbs can now be planted in the ground.
You should keep this in mind so that your summer garden blooms magnificently.

With their elegant, colorful flowers and irresistible scent, lilies are popular with people and insects.
The plants of the lily family, which includes over 600 different species, are suitable for all types of garden design.
Bed combinations with ornamental grasses and other summer bloomers such as asters or coneflowers are also conceivable.
Lilies are also extremely decorative in containers and pots.
When planting, you should keep the following tips in mind:
As
Gartenpraxis.de
knows, lilies can be planted from the beginning of February.
This gives them enough time to root and sprout accordingly.
However, the Madonna lily and the Turk's League lilies are an exception because they are planted in late summer.
It is best to plant the flowers immediately after purchase because the bulbs do not store well.
However, if the ground is still frozen, store the lily bulbs in a plastic bag with some soil.
Make sure the onions get enough air.
Lilies are an important food source for bees and other insects and are therefore essential in the natural garden.
