Planting & Care

Planting Instructions for Casa Blanca Oriental Lily

  1. When to Plant: Plant Casa Blanca Oriental Lily bulbs in fall or early spring, whenever the ground is workable and not frozen. Fall planting lets the bulbs root before winter, while spring-planted bulbs still bloom in mid to late summer the same year. Plant as soon as possible after the bulbs arrive so they do not dry out.
  2. Choosing the Right Location: Choose a spot in full to partial sun with at least 6 hours of sunlight daily for strong growth. The ideal site keeps the tops in sun and the roots cool, so plant near low companions like hostas or use mulch at the base. Good air circulation helps prevent fungal disease.
  3. Planting Depth and Spacing: Plant bulbs 6 to 8 inches deep, pointed end up, spacing them about 12 inches apart. Use rich, well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil with a pH of 6.0 to 7.0. Deep planting helps anchor the tall 30 to 42 inch stems and protects the bulbs.
  4. Watering After Planting: Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil around the bulbs. Then keep the soil moist but not soggy; lily bulbs rot quickly in waterlogged ground. Once shoots appear, water deeply rather than often.

Care Instructions

  1. Watering: Keep the soil moist but not soggy throughout the growing season. Water deeply and avoid overwatering, and water at the base of the plant rather than overhead. A layer of organic mulch helps retain moisture and keeps the bulbs cool in summer heat.
  2. Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced fertilizer as shoots emerge in spring and again lightly as buds form. Avoid high-nitrogen products, which push leaves at the expense of the huge 8 to 10 inch blooms.
  3. Staking: Because the flowers are large and heavy, taller plants may need support to keep stems from bending. Insert a stake a few inches from the stem early in the season to avoid piercing the bulb, and tie loosely as the plant grows.
  4. Pest Monitoring: Watch for aphids and red lily beetles. Hand-pick beetles and their larvae, and use insecticidal soap or neem oil to keep pests under control. Good air circulation and avoiding soggy soil help prevent fungal diseases like botrytis.

After Blooming

  1. Foliage Care: Remove spent flowers to keep plants tidy and prevent seed production, so energy goes back into the bulb for next year's show. Leave the stems and foliage standing until they yellow, then cut them back to the ground.
  2. Naturalizing: Casa Blanca Lilies are hardy in USDA zones 3 to 9 and return reliably year after year. In the colder zones, a thick layer of mulch over the planting area protects the bulbs from freezing temperatures. When clumps become crowded after several years, divide them in fall.

Additional Tips for Growing Casa Blanca Oriental Lily

  1. Cut Flowers: Casa Blanca Lilies can last up to two weeks in a vase. Change the water every couple of days and remove faded blooms as others open. Their intensely sweet fragrance can fill a room, so enjoy them outdoors if you are sensitive to strong scents.
  2. Pet Safety: Casa Blanca Lilies are extremely toxic to cats. Eating even a small amount of any part, including pollen or vase water, can cause life-threatening kidney failure. Keep plants and cut flowers completely out of reach of cats and call your veterinarian immediately if you suspect exposure.
  3. Moon Gardens and Companions: The bright white blooms reflect moonlight, making them perfect for evening gardens. Pair them with lavender, Russian sage, hostas, or ferns, and plant them along fences or pathways where the fragrance and height make a striking statement.
