Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Plant in spring in part shade or shade, in loose humus-rich soil that never stays waterlogged, 30–40 cm apart. It also does well in large containers.
Watering and feeding. Water regularly until established, then moderately – it tolerates short dry spells. Mulch with compost in spring.
Care. In early spring cut old, damaged leaves off at the base so the new foliage comes through neatly. Divide large clumps in spring.
Gardener's tip. In Estonia lilyturf overwinters more reliably under a thick layer of mulch and spruce branches, or in its pot in a cool, bright room (0–5 °C).
