    • Foxtail Lilies prefer a full sun location
    • Well drained soil is a MUST for the area you are planting foxtail lilies.
    • Improve soil drainage by adding organic matter like compost, manure or peat humus to the planting area. You may also plant in a raised bed that you have added well drained soil to.
    • The dormant bulb/root of the foxtail lily are large in diameter and spread out at least 6". Therefore the planting hole will need to be dug out to a width of near 12" to accommodate the large roots.
    • Plant Foxtail lily so that the crown of the bulb is 2" deep, just below the soil surface. You will need to dig 6-8” deep to loosen the soil and set the roots in place.
    • Mulch for winter protection when planting in hardiness zone 5 and 6.
