About the Easter Lily

A traditional Easter holiday plant that produce long, thick stems supporting large, pristine white, trumpet lilies that exude a strong fragrance. These bulbs are forced into bud and bloom on single, double, and triple stems. Use as a beautiful, seasonal houseplant, plant outdoors in garden beds or containers. Keep cool and remove the yellow pollen sacs for extended blooming. View our online selection of Easter Lily available now.


Care Notes

Easter lilies can be perennials, but need to be planted in a sunny, protected environment with extremely well-drained soil. If growing indoors, they require bright indirect light to some sun. Average moisture is required both inside and out. They cannot be planted outside until after the danger of frost. After blooming, take care of the foliage (keep green & healthy) until the fall. Dig and lift the bulbs, remove excess soil and let dry out for several days. Store in a cool, (50-60° F), dry place over winter. Replant in fresh potting soil early spring and start watering and lighting and feeding to force new growth. Use Osmocote to fertilize in containers and beds during the growing season.
