Bareroot Planting Instructions (Red Spider Lily Bulbs):
-
Timing: Plant in late summer to fall, or early spring if available.
-
Location: Choose a sunny to partly shaded spot with well-drained soil.
-
Depth & Position: Plant bulbs 4–6 inches deep with the neck of the bulb just above soil level.
-
Spacing: Allow 6–12 inches between bulbs for naturalizing.
-
Watering: Water lightly after planting; keep soil moderately moist during growth and bloom, but dry during summer dormancy.
