longiflorum-trumpet lily

This plant species should be watered about once a week, providing that the soil is kept moist but not saturated. For best results, water the root-zone of the soil rather than surface-sprinkling the foliage. During the summer months, water more often if the soil becomes dry, as this will help the plant flourish. During the winter months, water sparingly, as the plant will enter dormancy, and will need far less water.

This plant species needs a minimum of 4 hours of direct sunlight a day. Sunlight helps to promote healthy foliage as well as blooms. The ideal time for this plant to receive direct sunlight is between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m in the morning. During the hottest days of summer, when temperatures are above 90°F (32°C), it is recommended to give the plant some protection from the hot afternoon sun.

The recommended time to prune Lilium 'Zanlophator' TRIUMPHATOR (longiflorum-trumpet lily) is in the late summer or autumn, after it has finished flowering. Pruning should be done lightly to remove any dead flowers and leaves, but should not result in removing more than 1-third of the stems. To promote flowering, the tips of some of the stems can also be cut back to promote a bushier habit. Remove any new growth that is growing above the desired height for the particular garden.
