trumpet lily

Trumpet lilies should be watered deeply and regularly, but allow the soil to dry slightly between applications. During the growing season, water approximately once every week, ensuring that the soil remains consistently moist but not soggy. Water thoroughly, until water drains from the bottom of the pot. During the winter, the soil should be allowed to dry out slightly more, so water every other week or whenever it is dry to the touch.

Trumpet lilies thrive in full sun to partial shade. They do best in areas with 6-8 hours of direct sunlight a day, depending on the climate. They will still grow and flower in as little as 4 hours of sunlight, but will not reach their full potential. In climates with intense sunlight, they should be protected from the hot afternoon sun for best results.

Trumpet lily (Lilium 'Golden Sunburst') should be pruned once per year in the late winter or early spring, just before new growth emerges. Start pruning by removing any dead or damaged foliage. Then remove any stems that are growing in a way that detracts from the natural beauty of the plant. It is best to prune no more than 1-third of the plant at a time. Pruning trumpet lilies too heavily or too often could result in reduced flowering. overpruning can also weaken the plant, leaving it vulnerable to pests and disease.
