watering

Trumpet lilies should be watered consistently so that the soil remains evenly moist, though not soaked. Water the plants deeply 1 or 2 times a week in the summer when the soil starts to dry out slightly. Reduce watering during winter when growth is slower. Be mindful of watering if the temperatures are extreme, and water less or more often depending on the weather.

sunlight

Trumpet lily plants require full sun for at least 6-7 hours per day to maximize growth and flowering. They can tolerate some light shade during the hottest parts of the day, but should receive full sun for the greatest flower production. The best time for the Trumpet lilies to receive full sun is between 8am and 5pm.

pruning

Trumpet lily (Lilium (Pink Perfection Group)) should be pruned once a year in late summer, after the flowering period is finished. Pruning should be done to remove old flowers and foliage and to encourage strong, new growth. The old, brown leaves should be cut off at their base, as close to ground level as possible. Any dead, weak or diseased stems should also be removed. The size of the plant should be trimmed by approximately 1-third to 1-half of its height. Pruning should aim to open up the center of the plant to allow more light and air circulation throughout. Pruning should be done carefully, avoiding any cuts on healthy stems.
