Asiatic lily

Asiatic lilies (Lilium 'Enchantment') require moist, but not soggy, soil to thrive. Water deeply about once a week when the soil begins to feel dry. Allow the top 1 to 2 inches of soil to dry out in between waterings to avoid root rot. Water in the early morning or evening to reduce evaporation and drought stress. Make sure to water around the base of the plant and not directly on the foliage. In hot climates, Asiatic lilies may need to be watered more often. Monitor the soil moisture closely and water when needed. Additionally, it is important to water regularly during blooming season to help support the flowers.

Asiatic lily (Lilium 'Enchantment') is a popular choice for gardens due to its stunning blooms. It thrives best in full sun, meaning that it should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. The sunlight should be the most intense in summer in order to encourage the lily to put out its colorful flowers. During the rest of the year, the lily should still receive a good amount of direct sunlight, although not as intense as during the summer months. During the autumn, the decreasing sunlight levels are actually beneficial for the lily, helping it to slow down and enter into its dormant period.

Asiatic lilies should be pruned annually in early spring, as soon as the ground can be worked. Pruning should only be done to remove dead and diseased stems, as well as any that are excessively weak or thin. Cut the stem straight across just above the soil line, and discard any leaves or stems that have turned yellow or brown. If desired, old flower heads can also be removed to avoid seed production. While pruning, take care not to damage the remaining living stems. Over-pruning should be avoided, as it could reduce flowering for the next season.
